Question

While walking in the woods, you see an organism whose body is divided into two segments and has eight legs and fangs. The organism does not have wings or antennae. In which subphylum would you place this organism?. . A. Uniramia. . B. Crustacea. . C. Chelicerata

Answer 1

C. Chelicerata.

Step-by-step explanation:

The animal that is referred in the question is likely to be place under sub-phylum Chelicerata. It is a subphylum of the phylum Arthropoda. Examples are scorpions, mites, spiders, sea spiders and ticks. Chelicerates are divided into two body segments and have six pairs of appendages out of which four pairs are used for walking two pairs as mouth parts. Wings and antennae are absent.

Answer 2

First, we can cancel out uniramia. Uniramia are known to have antennae.
We can also cancel out crustaceans. They have more than 8 legs, fang-less and like unimaria, they have antennae.
The answer would have to be Chelicerata. They do not have any antennae, they have fangs as well as 8 legs. Spiders are perfect examples.
