    Body symmetry and protostome/deuterostome development are useful traits in determining evolutionary relationships among animal groups. Parasitic species have evolved in several phyla, with successful parasites sharing features like dependence on a host, adaptations for host attachment/entry, and strategies for evading host immunity. Segmentation provides modular construction which aids in movement, growth, and regeneration, seen in arthropods and annelids. Arthropods demonstrate strength in numbers, molting, jointed exoskeletons, and segmented bodies, contributing to their evolutionary success. Metamorphosis allows morphological changes but requires more resources and risks mortality during transition, seen in arthropods, chordates, and cnidarians.

    Study Questions Lecture 19 ---- Animals 2

    1. Explain the concepts of body symmetry and protostome/deuterostome development. How are these traits useful in determining evolutionary relationships among major groups of animals? 2. Name three phyla (scientific names are not necessary) that contain some species that have evolved to be parasites of other organisms. List and discuss 4 features of a successful parasite. 3. What is meant by developmental segmentation? Name two phyla that exhibit segmentation. Discuss why segmentation is such an advantageous trait from an evolutionary perspective. 4. List and discuss 4 features of arthropods that make them so successful. 5. Define metamorphosis and discuss its benefits. In addition, discuss two possible drawbacks to undergoing metamorphosis. Name 3 animal phyla that contain at least some species that undergo metamorphosis.
