Using appropriate examples,

Question:

 Using appropriate examples, differentiate between false and true body segmentation.

Solution:

1. False or pseudo body segmentation is the segmentation of the ectoderm. For example: In tapeworms, it shows external segmentation but it does not have internal segmentation.

2. True body segmentation is the series of repetition of a body part. It shows external segmentation as well as internal segmentation. For example, It is observed in arthropods like earthworms.
