Detailed explanation-1: -It is the division of an animal’s body into linear series of similar segments (metameres) by the repetition of organs and tissues at intervals along its body. Metameric segmentation: It is an internal, mesodermal phenomenon. The basic segmental divisions are the body musculature and the coelom.

Detailed explanation-2: -Metamerism is referred to as the linear series of body segments like in tapeworms, earthworms, insects, etc. The body is elongated and divided externally by grooves into segments by rings called metamerism or annuli, and internally by septa into compartments.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is a type of isomerism in which compounds have the same molecular formula but different alkyl groups on either side of functional groups and are called Metamers. Metamers are the isomers having the same molecular formula but different alkyl groups on two sides of functional groups.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metameric segmentation is the characteristic of Annelida and Arthropoda. Metamerism is the repetition of organs in segments called metameres.
