Question

Which of the following is not the charcter of Taenia solium?

• A. Apolysis
• B. Proglottid
• C. Metamerism
• D. Strobila

Answer 1

The correct option is C Metamerism

Taenia solium is a flatworm whose body is divided into hundreds of segments called as proglottids. There are three regions in the body, the scolex, unsegmented neck and the segmented posterior region called as strobila. The shedding of gravid proglottids is called as apolysis.

Metamerism is mainly seen in annelids and arthropods where the body is divided into several small segments which are similar.

So, the correct answer is option C.
