Summary Introduction

To compare: The structure of planarian and earthworm with regard to their: digestive tract, body cavity and the segmentation.

Concept introduction: The Planaria is a flatworm that is included in phylum Platyhelminthes. They have no body cavity as they are flat. They resemble ribbon shape and are about 1mm to 20 m. They have incomplete digestive system. They show bilateral symmetry. Many species of flatworms are parasitic in nature. The flatworms are bilaterally symmetrical animals.

The Earthworm is included in phylum Annelida which is the group of animals that are included in the invertebrates. These are the true segmented worms that have flexible body and no hard skeleton is present in their body. They have closed circulatory system, small brain, nervous system and excretory system. They do not have legs. Their body cavity is filled with coelom. Their size range from 1 mm to 3 m. They are found in various habitats like in soil, at the bottom of the ocean or in fresh waters.

*Example 2: Tracing the path of an autosomal dominant trait Trait: Neurofibromatosis Forms of the trait: The dominant form is neurofibromatosis, caused by the production of an abnormal form of the protein neurofibromin. Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
