Question

Metamerically segmented body exhibits

• A. Repeated segments
• B. Linear repetition of body parts
• C. Repetition of nephridia
• D. Repetition of reproductive organs

Answer 1

The correct option is A Repeated segments

• The presence of similar organs repeatedly at intervals along the length of the body in any organism is known as metamerism.
• We cannot divide the body into parts such as the head, thorax, and abdomen.
• The complete body is divided into the same segments, which are individually known as metameres.
• Members of phylum Annelida show metameric segmentation.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
