b) Paired fins are absent.
c) Mouth is circular without jaws.
d) Tongue bears horny teeth.
Q: What are claspers? Which group of fishes possess them?
A: a) The copulatory processess developed on Pelvic fins of male cartilagenous fishes are called claspers.

Q: What are the golden ages of first jawed vertebrates and the first amniotes?
A: a) Golden age of first jawed vertebrates (= fishes) was Devonian period of Palaeozoic era.
b) Golden age of first amniotes (= reptiles) was Jurassic period of Mesozoic era.
Q: What are pneumatic bones? How do they help birds?
A: a) The bones with air cavities are known as pneumatic bones.
