The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements regarding coelenterates (or cnidarians) are wrong, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement I: Cnidocytes are present on the tentacles and on the body.** - Cnidocytes are indeed characteristic cells of cnidarians, found primarily on their tentacles and body. This statement is **correct**. 2. **Statement II: Diploblastic with cellular level of organization.** - Cnidarians are diploblastic, meaning they have two germ layers (ectoderm and endoderm). However, they possess a **tissue level of organization**, not a cellular level. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Statement III: Polyp forms are free living.** - Polyp forms of cnidarians are generally **sessile** (attached to a substrate) and not free-living. This statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Statement IV: Exhibit metagenesis.** - Some cnidarians exhibit metagenesis, which is the alternation between polyp and medusa forms in their life cycle. This statement is **correct**. 5. **Statement V: Polyps produce medusae sexually and medusae form polyps asexually.** - This statement is reversed. Polyps reproduce asexually to produce medusae, while medusae reproduce sexually to form polyps. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Summary of Findings: - **Incorrect Statements**: II, III, and V. - **Correct Statements**: I and IV. ### Final Answer: The wrong statements regarding coelenterates are II, III, and V. ---
