The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following statements is incorrect, we will analyze each statement one by one: 1. **Misoglia is present between ectoderm and ectoderm.** - Misoglia, also known as mesoglea, is a gelatinous substance found in certain animals, particularly in the phylum Cnidaria. It is located between the ectoderm and endoderm layers. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Echinoderms exhibit radial symmetry.** - Echinoderms, such as starfish and sea urchins, are known for their radial symmetry, especially as adults. This means their body can be divided into similar halves around a central axis. Thus, this statement is also **correct**. 3. **Fasciola is a pseudo-coelomate animal.** - Fasciola, commonly known as liver fluke, belongs to the phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms). Flatworms are acoelomate, meaning they lack a true body cavity (coelom). Pseudo-coelomates have a false body cavity, but since Fasciola does not have any body cavity, this statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Tenia is a triploblastic animal.** - Tenia, or tapeworms, are indeed triploblastic animals, meaning they have three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. This statement is **correct**. After analyzing all the statements, we conclude that the **incorrect statement** is: **Fasciola is a pseudo-coelomate animal.** ### Summary of the Solution: - Statement 1: Correct (Misoglia is between ectoderm and endoderm) - Statement 2: Correct (Echinoderms exhibit radial symmetry) - Statement 3: Incorrect (Fasciola is acoelomate, not pseudo-coelomate) - Statement 4: Correct (Tenia is triploblastic) ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is: **Fasciola is a pseudo-coelomate animal.**
