What are the characteristics of each of the four groups of arthropobods?

Arthropods are divided into four main groups: Insects: Characterized by three body segments (head, thorax, abdomen), six legs, and often wings. Arachnids: Have two body segments (cephalothorax and abdomen), eight legs, and typically no antennae or wings. Crustaceans: Usually aquatic, with two body segments (cephalothorax and abdomen), multiple pairs of legs, and two pairs of antennae. Myriapods: Distinguished by elongated bodies with many segments, each bearing one or two pairs of legs, and include centipedes and millipedes.


What body parts make an insect an insect?

Antennae, compound eyes, external skeleton, three body parts and six legs are what makes an insect an insect.Specifically, an insect has one pair of antennae -- sometimes called feelers -- on the first of its three body parts, the head. Thousands of photoreceptor units make up an insect's eyes. Its skeleton supports its body from the outside, not the inside as is the case with humankind. It will have noticeable middle (thorax) and end (abdomen) body regions as well as three sets of jointed, segmented legs.


How are the antennae chelipeds other walking legs and swimmerets related?

Antennae are sensory appendages that detect chemicals and vibrations, chelipeds are specialized for grasping and defense, walking legs are for mobility on land, and swimmerets are used for swimming and reproduction. Together, they all play important roles in the overall functioning and survival of the crustacean.

What does the antennapedia gene control What happens if it misfires?

The antennapedia gene (fruit flies) controls development of the legs. Should it not work properly, the fly will have ectopic antennae instead of a second part of legs.

Structures that grow from the body are called spiracles?

No. The structures that grow from the body are called 'appendages'. In 'invertebrates' (animals without a backbone or spine, broadly speaking), they include antennae, wings, legs etc. while in 'vertebrates'(animals having a spine, e.g. humans) they include the limbs. Spiracles on the other hand are small openings on the bodies of a few animals that are connected to the respiratory system of the animal and these are used for 'breathing'. Their function is quite similar to that of the nostrils in humans.
