Question

Select the point of differentiation between the sporozoites and merozoites

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B: "The zygote of Plasmodium multiples in the gut of a mosquito to form sporozoites, whereas when sporozoites multiply in human liver cells, they form spores called merozoites."

Explanation:

In Plasmodium, for example, the sporozoites are cells that produce in the mosquito's salivary glands, leave the mosquito during a blood meal, and drive liver cells (hepatocytes), where they generate. Cells infected with sporozoites ultimately burst, delivering merozoites into the bloodstream.  Merozoites are non-motile.A merozoite is a daughter cell of a protozoan parasite. Merozoites are the consequence of asexual propagation. Sporozoites are designed by sporogony, a type of sexual or asexual reproduction by multiple fission of a spore or zygote, representative of many sporozoans.
