Question

Which one is correct statement with reference to Ascaris

• A. Monogenetic ,dimorphic ,pseudocoelomate and colozioc parasite
• B. Monogenetic ,dimorphic ,coelomate and histozioc parasite
• C. Digenetic ,dimorphic ,pseudocoelomate and histozioc parasite
• D. Digenetic ,dimorphic ,coelomate and histozioc parasite

Answer 1

The correct option is A Monogenetic ,dimorphic ,pseudocoelomate and colozioc parasite

• Ascaris is a Monogenic parasite as it completes their life cycle in only one individual host i.e in humans.
• Sexual dimorphism is the condition where the two sexes of the same species exhibit different characteristics beyond the differences in their sexual organs. And Ascaris is dimorphic.
• The pseudocoelom is a fluid-filled body cavity lying inside the external body wall of the nematode(Ascaris) that bathes the internal organs, including the alimentary system and the reproductive system.
• The coelozoic parasite lives within the cavities of the host's body. They are called enterozoioc if they live in the alimentary canal. e.g. Ascaris lumbricoides in the large intestine.
• Hence, Monogenetic, dimorphic, pseudocoelomate and colonic parasite is a correct statement with reference to Ascaris.
• So, the correct answer is 'Monogenetic, dimorphic, pseudocoelomate and colonic parasite'.
