The traits of a living thing depend on the complex mixture of interacting components inside it. Proteins do much of the chemical work inside cells, so they largely determine what those traits are. But those proteins owe their existence to the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), so that is where we must look for the answer.
The easiest way to understand how DNA is organized is to start with its basic building blocks. DNA consists of four different sugars that interact with each other in specific ways. These four sugars are called nucleotide bases and have the names adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). Think of these four bases as letters in an alphabet, the alphabet of life!

1. Explain why planarians and flukes are called flatworms.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer and Explanation:

Platyhelminthes are mostly worm like organisms that are dorsoventrally flattened, meaning they look like a leaf and this is why they are coined names like the Tapeworm, Flatworm, Fluke and Planarian.

Most Platyhelminthes are parasites on other animals but only the Turbellarians are mostly non-parasitic. A few species are commensalists, or mutualists living with other larger organism.

They are classified into:

  • Class Turbellaria
  • Class Monogenea
  • Class Trematoda
  • Class Cestoda
