How does segmentation enhance annelid locomotion? a. Segmentation creates repeating body structures so the entire organism functions in synchrony. b. Segmentation allows specialization of different body regions. c. Neural segmentation allows annelids to localize sensations. d. Muscle contractions can be localized to specific regions of the body to coordinate movement.
