Question

If the body is externally and internally divided into segments, then it is called

• A. false segmentation
• B. pseudo segmentation
• C. true segmentation
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C true segmentation

The property where the body of an organism is divided into segments is called segmentation. When this segmentation is both internal and external along with the serial repetition of some organs throughout the segments, it is called metameric segmentation or metamerism which is true segmentation.

If the body is segmented and each segment is independent of the other then it is called pseudo or false segmentation (pseudometamerism).
