Describe some of the advantages of segmentation
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Segmentation allows for flexibility of movement. Segmentation improves control over
movement because segments can act independently. Different segments can contain
different, and in many cases, a complete set of organs. Therefore, segments can be severely
damaged without the entire organism being damaged or killed.
