Explanation
Trypanosoma is polymorphic. Polymorphism refers to the existence of different forms or morphological variations within a species. Trypanosoma species exhibit polymorphism, meaning they can have varying morphological forms during different stages of their life cycle. For example, Trypanosoma brucei, the species responsible for causing African trypanosomiasis, displays different morphological forms in its mammalian host and the tsetse fly vector.
