The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the total number of segments with all three types of nephridia in an earthworm, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Types of Nephridia**: - In earthworms, there are three types of nephridia: integumentary nephridia, pharyngeal nephridia, and septal nephridia. 2. **Identify the Segments for Each Type**: - **Integumentary Nephridia**: Present from the 3rd segment to the last segment. - **Pharyngeal Nephridia**: Present in the 4th, 5th, and 6th segments. - **Septal Nephridia**: Present from the 15th segment to the last segment. 3. **Analyze the Overlap of Segments**: - The integumentary nephridia are found starting from the 3rd segment, while the pharyngeal nephridia are only present in the 4th, 5th, and 6th segments. - The septal nephridia only appear from the 15th segment onwards. 4. **Determine Common Segments**: - The segments 4, 5, and 6 have both integumentary and pharyngeal nephridia, but they do not have septal nephridia. - The segments from the 15th segment onwards have septal nephridia but do not have pharyngeal nephridia. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since there is no segment that contains all three types of nephridia simultaneously, we conclude that there are **no segments** with all three types of nephridia present. ### Final Answer: The total number of segments with all three types of nephridia is **none**.
