Statement 1 and 2 are true and statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1.
Both statements 1 and 2 are false.
Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.
Correct Answer :
D. Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.
Typhlosole is the characteristic feature of earthworm. It can be defined as an extra flap of tissue or an infolding along the inner wall of the intestine. The typhlosole in earthworms increases the surface area of the intestine for efficient secretion and absorption during digestion.
