Question

peripetus is said to be a connecting link between Annelida and Anthropoda



Hello Parvathi​

Answer 1

Answer:

Peripatus is a connective link between arthropods and annelids

Explanation:

Peripatus shows a segmented body, a thin cuticle, and parapodia-like organs. These characteristics are typical of Annelids.

It also shows tracheal respiration and an open circulatory system which are features of Arthropods.

Since Peripatus shares both these characters, it is said to be a connecting link between Annelida and Arthropoda.

Answer 2

Answer:

thanks

Explanation:

Peripatus is a connective link between arthropods and annelids since they have characteristics of both annelids and arthropods. As annelids, peripatus have worm-like segmented body, segmental nephridia, etc. and as arthropods, they have jointed pairs legs. Hence, they are the connecting link of both the groups.
