Question

Female mosquitoes sucking human blood at intervals are

• A. Permanent parasites
• B. Endoparasites
• C. Semiparasites
• D. Intermittent parasites

Answer 1

The correct option is D Intermittent parasites

Parasites are organisms that live or feed on other organisms for their food, nutrition, shelter, etc. They exhibit population interaction called parasitism in which one organism is harmed and the other gets its benefit. As these mosquitoes suck human blood and harm them with their vectors, they are said to be parasites. And they feed at regular intervals, so the mode is intermittent parasitism and they are intermittent parasites.

So, option d is the correct answer.
