The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which pair of animals are similar to each other based on the features stated, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option 1: Tyropus and Ornithorhynchus (Viviparity)** - **Tyropus** (Flying Fox or Fruit Bat) is viviparous, meaning it gives birth to live young. - **Ornithorhynchus** (Platypus) is oviparous, meaning it lays eggs. - **Conclusion:** This pair does not share the same reproductive feature. **(Incorrect)** 2. **Option 2: Garden Lizard and Crocodile (3 Chambered Heart)** - **Garden Lizard** has a 3-chambered heart, which is typical for reptiles. - **Crocodile**, however, has a 4-chambered heart, which is an exception among reptiles. - **Conclusion:** This pair does not share the same heart structure. **(Incorrect)** 3. **Option 3: Scaris and Encyclostoma (Metameric Segmentation)** - Both **Scaris** and **Encyclostoma** belong to the phylum Nematoda (roundworms) and do not exhibit metameric segmentation, which is characteristic of annelids. - **Conclusion:** This pair shares the feature of lacking metameric segmentation. **(Correct)** 4. **Option 4: Seahorse and Flying Fish (Cold-Blooded)** - Both **Seahorse** and **Flying Fish** are ectothermic (cold-blooded), meaning they cannot maintain a constant body temperature and their body temperature varies with the environment. - **Conclusion:** This pair shares the feature of being cold-blooded. **(Correct)** ### Final Answer: - The correct pairs based on the features stated are **Option 3: Scaris and Encyclostoma** and **Option 4: Seahorse and Flying Fish**.
