Which of the following does not have red blood cells?
A Snake
B Peacock
C Frog
D Earthworm
Correct Option:
D [ Earthworm ]
Stored explanation
Correct answer: D (Earthworm)
Key concept: Earthworms have an open circulatory system with hemolymph that does not contain red blood cells (RBCs).
Why: Invertebrates like earthworms use hemolymph for transport; RBCs are characteristic of vertebrates.
Other options: Snakes (vertebrates) have RBCs; peacocks (birds) have RBCs; frogs (amphibians) have RBCs.
Note: RBCs carry oxygen via hemoglobin; earthworms use dissolved oxygen in hemolymph.
Exam tip: Remember βvertebrates have RBCs; many invertebrates do not.β

A Newton
B Mendel
C Darwin
D Einstein
Correct Option:
C [ Darwin
]
Stored explanation
Correct option: C
Correct answer text: Darwin
Reason: The theory of Evolution was proposed by Charles Darwin, centered on natural selection driving gradual changes in species over time.
Key concept: Natural selection: variation exists, those better suited survive and reproduce more, passing traits to offspring.
Why others are wrong: Newtonβgravity/physics; Mendelβprinciples of inheritance (gene patterns); Einsteinβrelativity.
Exam tip: Link βDarwinβ with evolution and natural selection; remember Darwinβs voyage on the Beagle.
