  • i true metameric segmentation body is both externally as well as internally dived where as in case of pusdometamerism body is only externally divided


  • in simple language in metameric segmentation as in annelids both is divided both externally and internally whereas in psuedometamerisem body is divided externally only


  • Metamerism is segmentation of body into somites or metameres. br /Pseudometamerism occurs in cestodes in which every segment is independent of the other and contains complete set of organs that have no connection with organs in other segments...
