The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is incorrect, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement A**: - Statement A claims that in cockroaches and prawns, the excretion of waste material occurs through Malpighian tubules. - In cockroaches, this statement is correct as they do use Malpighian tubules for excretion. - However, in prawns, the excretion is facilitated by green glands, not Malpighian tubules. - Therefore, Statement A is **incorrect**. 2. **Analyze Statement B**: - Statement B states that in ctenophores, locomotion is mediated by cilia (referred to as "complates" in the transcript). - This statement is correct because ctenophores have specialized structures called ctenes (complates) that help in locomotion. 3. **Analyze Statement C**: - Statement C mentions that in Planaria (fisiola), flame cells take part in excretion. - This is also correct, as flame cells are specialized cells in flatworms that are involved in excretion. 4. **Analyze Statement D**: - Statement D states that earthworms are hermaphrodites, meaning they possess both male and female reproductive organs, and that cross-fertilization occurs among them. - This statement is accurate because earthworms do have both sex organs but typically engage in cross-fertilization with other earthworms. 5. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all statements, we find that Statement A is the only incorrect statement. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is **Statement A**: "In cockroaches and prawns, the excretion of waste material occurs through Malpighian tubules." ---
