The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the occurrence of metanephros kidneys, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Metanephros**: - The metanephros is a type of kidney that develops from the posterior part of the nephrotome. It is a well-differentiated kidney with specialized structures known as nephrons. 2. **Identifying Organisms**: - We need to determine which of the given groups of organisms possess metanephric kidneys. The options are: - (a) Amniotes - (b) Fishes - (c) Amphibians - (d) Invertebrates 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option (a) Amniotes**: - Amniotes are organisms that lay eggs with an amnion membrane, which protects the embryo. This group includes reptiles, birds, and mammals. They possess metanephric kidneys. - **Option (b) Fishes**: - Fishes typically have a different type of kidney called the pronephros or mesonephros, not metanephros. - **Option (c) Amphibians**: - Amphibians also do not have metanephric kidneys; they usually have mesonephric kidneys during their larval stage. - **Option (d) Invertebrates**: - Invertebrates do not possess metanephric kidneys; they have various other forms of excretory systems. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the only group that possesses metanephric kidneys is **(a) Amniotes**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **(a) Amniotes**.
