Question

Segmentation helps separate the different functions of the body; it is exemplified by the separated circulatory, digestive, nervous, and excretory systems. Each segment plays an important role that supports the other functions in the body.a) trueb) false

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

• Segmentation allows for a greater degree of variety among species
• The concept of segmentation relies upon the ability for organisms to duplicate organs and structural elements, such as arms and legs
• The ability to divide functions into different portions of the body allows an organism to perform increasingly complex activities and use different segments to perform varying functions
• For example, humans consist of heteromeric segmentation, in which each segment differs from another and fulfills a specific role
• Homomeric segmentation refers to segments that contain similar elements, such as with the segments in an Errantia, a type of worm
