Single circulation i.e., blood flows through the heart only once during one cycle of passage through the body, is exhibited by
(a) Labeo, Chameleon, Salamander
(b) Hippocampus, Exocoetus, Anabas
(c) Hyla, Rana, Draco
(d) Whale, Dolphin, Turtle
The correct answer is (b) hippocampus, exocoetus, anabas.
Explanation:
Single circulation, where blood flows through the heart only once during a complete cycle, is a characteristic of fish. The other groups (amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) have double circulation, where the blood passes through the heart twice in each cycle.
Why other options are incorrect:
(a) Labeo, Chameleon, Salamander:
Labeo is a type of fish, but the other two are reptiles and amphibians, which have double circulation, not single circulation.
(c) Hyla, Rana, Draco:
Hyla and Rana are amphibians, while Draco is a reptile. These groups have double circulation, not single.
(d) Whale, Dolphin, Turtle:
Whales and dolphins are mammals, while turtles are reptiles. Both groups have double circulation.
