Question

Basically all chordates are metamerically segmented animals, this statement is

• A. Completely false
• B. Applicable to some chordates only
• C. Applicable to all chordates, because at some stage of their development they show some sort of series repetition of body parts
• D. True for all chordates, as they show this phenomenon throughout life

Answer 1

The correct option is C Applicable to all chordates, because at some stage of their development they show some sort of series repetition of body parts

• Chordates are basically segmented (metameric) animals, although this repeating pattern often can be seen strongly only as embryos develop.
• One can see a hint of segmentation in the construction of the backbone, it's attached muscles, and our peripheral nervous systems.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
