Statement 1 : Locomotion is the movement of an individual from one place to another.
Statement 2 : All movements are locomotion but all locomotion are not movement.

• A. Both statements 1 and 2 are correct
• B. Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect
• C. Statement 1 is Incorrect but statement 2 is correct
• D. Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect

Locomotion refers to the movement of an organism from one place to another. It indicates a shift in position from the original place. Therefore, all locomotion are movements. However, a movement necessarily need not be a change in position, it could be any action performed being at the same place. Therefore, all movements are not locomotion.

So, the correct answer is option B.
