9The defining characteristic of an animal in the class Chondrichthyes is: A aggressive behavior B a cartilaginous skeleton C a lineagethat goes back hundreds of millions of years D the constant shedding & regrowing of teeth

10Ampullae of Lorenzini detects A chemicals B electric fields C pressure D temperature changes

11Which of the following is NOT associated with the visual system of chondrichthyes: A The visual systems are well developed for hunting at night B The tapetum lucidum amplifies limited light by reflecting the incoming light throughout the eye C The nictitating membrane functions as a transparent 3rd eye lid for additional protection & clearing debris D The Ampullae of Lorenzini assists in the detection of light particles during times of limited light & cloudy water

12The oldest known unambiguous chondrichthyes was found during the: A Silurian Period B Devonian Period C Cambrian Period D Tertiary Period

13A shark with the following type of teeth most likely eats A large fish or mammals B small, schooling fish C clams and bivalves D krill and plankton

14The amplified lateral line on a shark is able to detect changes in water movement up to ___________ away A 1 meter B 10 meters away C 50 meters away D 100 meters away

15True or False: The class chondrichthyes includes the largest animals to ever exist on the planet. True False

16All of the following are true when considering shark teeth, EXCEPT: A The rows of teeth are even and symmetrical B The teeth are generated by the same type of cells that generate the placoid scales C The teeth of sharks are constantly replaced throughout its entire lifetime D The shape of the sharks teeth is determined by what that species of shark has developed to eat

17A spiracle on a sting ray is located A near the nostrils B behind the eyes C in the middle of the back D directly anterior of the caudal fin/tail.

18All of the following are true about squaloid sharks, EXCEPT: A They have relatively small brains B They are dominant carnivores C They mostly live in cold, deep waters D Examples are dogfish, megamouth, and cookie-cutter sharks

19Evidence suggests that the Megalodon A was the largest aggresive carnivore on record B had the most teeth of any known predatory animal C was the largest animal ever to exist in the water D still exists in large populations today

20A shark with the following type of teeth most likely eats A large fish or mammals B small, schooling fish C clams and bivalves D krill and plankton

22The chondrichthyan in the picture most likely eats: A large mammal B small fish C plankton D shellfish

23The heterocercal shape of a shark's tail is beneficial because: A it allows the shark to use countershading as camouflage so that it cannot be seen from above or below B with each swish of the tail the shark amplifies its ability to detect both electrical and chemical changes in the water C with each side-to-side movement of the tail, both forward and upward force is generated D it allows the rostrum to protrude forward and increases the abilities of chemoreceptors found within this organ

24Cladoselache was an important chondrichthian fossil because: A its dorsal fins were used to walk across the bottom of the ocean B it had heterodont dentition C it was the first example of a species with a rostrum D it had ligamentous teeth arranged in a whorl-shape arrangement
