Explanation / Answer

(a)Ans-

                         Humans belong to subphylum Vertebrata. Vertebrates have spinal cord and a segmented column of cartilage or bone is developed around the nerve to protect the spinal cord from the injury. We are not specialized for a particular lifestyle and have different styles of chewing process. We are able to eat both plants and meat in which food and meat are grinded by molar teeth. Secondly, we have also generalized digestive system. Our digestive system can’t produce cellulose but we can digest different types of food.
