Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The jointed appendages permit good mobilityl. For example, a straight walking leg without joints will not provide good mobility while the leg with the joints will provide many dimensional activities. Hence jointed appendages allow the arthropods to perform various activities like grasping the objects, walking, running, etc.
