Question

Proglottids in tapeworm proliferate

• A. From the head or scolex
• B. From a special region of proliferation
• C. Any where from the body
• D. From the neck

Answer 1

The correct option is D From the neck

Proglottids in tapeworm proliferate from the neck region. Each proglottid is a section of a little egg-making machine that contains when mature, hundreds of eggs. The scolex is the "head" of the tapeworm. It has hooks/suckers to help it hold on to the host's tissues. These are what makes the tapeworm look like a measuring tape.

So, the correct answer is option D.
