Using the thick blood film to detect malaria enables observation od parasite morphology and it is used to quantify and identify parasites to the species level. For that kind of detection a high-power microscope (400 times to 1,000 times magnification) is required. The microscopist can look for parasites in a relatively large volume of blood, thus increasing the sensitivity of the test.
The general meaning of corpus means body in Latin. For example Habeas Corpus pretty much means "show me the body".
Your answer is meiosis I'm pretty sure :)
The dominant RR (red) and recessive rr (white). The color pink seems to be an intermediary between the dominant and recessive parent. Thus a heterozygote (Rr) that contains both a dominant and recessive gene will have a pink color.
