Explain two characteristics of arthropods that makes them most successful of vertebrates

1. Exoskeleton

2. Jointed appendages

Please find the explanation of the mentioned characteristics below

Explanation:

Arthropods are a group of animals that lack backbones i.e invertebrates but possess jointed legs. Arthropods as their name implies all belong to a large phylum called ARTHROPODA. They include insects, crustaceans etc. Due to their large number among other animal species, their outstanding variety etc, they are considered the MOST SUCCESSFUL animals.

This success of arthropods can be attributed to the characteristics they possess. Two of them are:

- EXOSKELETON: The outside skeleton possessed by members of these phylum supports their body, movement and general protection.

- JOINTED LEGS/APPENDAGES: Arthropods are virtually the only set of organisms that have jointed appendages giving them the adaptational ability to live and thrive in almost every habitat, if not all.

i'm gonna put a couple so you can chose from

explanation:

if you know the fur color of the offspring mice, you can use the ratios to identify the genotypes of the parents.

if either parent mouse passes a dominant allele, the offspring will have black fur.

if the parental mice has two different fur color (i.e white and black) , the color of the offspring's fur would be either black, white, or the combination of both (grey)

hope this : )
