Peripatus

Vedclass · Answer

(A) connecting link is an organism that exhibits characteristics of two different taxonomic groups. $Peripatus$ is a well-known connecting link between the phyla $Annelida$ and $Arthropoda$. It possesses segmented bodies and nephridia (like annelids) as well as tracheal respiration and an open circulatory system (like arthropods). $Archaeopteryx$ is also a connecting link,but between $Reptilia$ and $Aves$. Since both $Peripatus$ and $Archaeopteryx$ are valid,in many standard textbooks,$Peripatus$ is cited as the primary example for connecting links between major phyla.
