    Thigmotaxis is not shown by

    A)  Paramecium    

    B)  Amoeba

    C)  Ascaris         

    D)  Hydra

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Ascaris do not show thigmotaxis. Thigmotaxis is commonly observed in insects not in worms. Amoeba shows thigmotaxis. On coming in contact with a solid object. Amoeba generally avoid it by moving in a different direction by forming pseudopodia. Hydra is known to respond to a variety of stimuli, both external and internal. On contact with a solid object other than a prey, the whole body usually contracts rather rapidly. On contact with a hard solid object, Pardmecium induces avoiding response.
