Question

what is the advantage of metarmerism in animals​

Answer 1

Advantage of metamerism in animals:

◆It permits the body for specialized functions such as feeding, locomotion, and reproduction. Specialization of body regions in a metameric animal is called tagmatization .

◆A second advantage of metameric growth is that developmental pathways for creating high-level structures on existing segments can be re-used in new segments.

◆Metamerism allows many species of annelids to grow arbitrarily long in a flexible and biologically inexpensive way.
