Question:
All living members of the class Cyclostomata are:
All living members of the class Cyclostomata are:
Show Hint
Cyclostomata = Mostly ectoparasites (lampreys).
Updated On: May 4, 2025
- Endoparasite
- Symbiotic
- Ectoparasite
- Free living
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Cyclostomata (lampreys and hagfish) are jawless fish. While some are free-living scavengers (hagfish), all extant lampreys are ectoparasites, attaching to other fish and feeding on their blood and tissues.

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:

A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :

- The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant \(K_1\) and \(K_2\) with thickness \(d/2\) and \(d/2\) respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If \(K_1 = 1.25 K_2\), the value of \(K_2\) is :
