Question

Class Sporozoa is characterized by

• A. Flagella
• B. Cillia
• C. Parasitism
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Parasitism

Apicomplexa gathers several species of obligate intracellular protozoan parasites, which are classified as Sporozoa because they form reproductive cells, called as spores. Sporozoans have no flagellated or ciliated extensions for locomotion with most species presenting only gliding motility, except for the male gametes in the sexual phase, which have a flagellated stage of motility.

So, the correct answer is option C.
