Which of the following is not a characteristic feature of tapeworm?
Correct answer: B. The digestive tract develops from endodermal cells in the embryo
- A. Each body segment has two sets of male and female reproductive organs
- B. The digestive tract develops from endodermal cells in the embryo
- C. The body can be cut into two parts, which are mirror images of each other, in one plane only
- D. None of the above
Explanation
B is correct option because Tapeworms absorb food through their skin. The beef tapeworm is called Taenia saginata. This tapeworm grows in the intestines of humans to a length of 30-40 feet. Ingesting undercooked beef increases the risk of getting this parasite in one's system. However, beef that is cooked properly may still have these parasites in it, but in a dead form.
