Name three features often associated with the evolution of an endoparasitic lifestyle. Compare and contrast these features between endoparasites from three phyla and their closest non-endoparasitic relatives. Assuming the features are adaptive, which of them do these comparisons suggest are exaptations?

Discuss the idea that every evolutionary adaptation has both advantages and disadvantages, using each of the following as an example: (a) cephalization,(b) the arthropod exoskeleton, and (c) segmentation with specialization.
Which of the following is not a feature common to most animals? a. development into a fixed body plan b. asexual reproduction c. specialized tissues d. heterotrophic nutrient sourcing
Over the long period of time that life has existed on Earth, there have been a number of important or significant innovations including (but not limited to) endosymbiosis to create mitochondria and chloroplasts; multicellularity; adaptation to land by plants and animals; development of exoskeletons in arthropods, shells in molluscs, and notochords followed by vertebral columns in chordates and vertebrates; and bipedalism in the ancestry of humans. All of these had to come about by natural selection in response to changing environmental forces. After studying the textbook reading assignment, pick one of the significant innovations listed above and describe:: a. How the innovation appears to have happened b. What environmental challenges were met and overcome by this innovation, and c. What opportunities were opened for the organism that made this innovation B. You must include in your post an example of at least one species and demonstrate that vou understand scientific nomenclature by…
