0 200​

Answer 1

➺T. saginata adults usually have 1,000 to 2,000 proglottids, while T. solium adults have an average of 1,000 proglottids. The eggs contained in the gravid proglottids are released after the proglottids are passed with the feces.

Answer 2

The correct answer is (b) 500

• T. solium tapeworms measure 1-5 m long, and the scolex is trailed by the neck, from which the strobila is shaped, looking like a lace framed by 500 to 1,000 immature, mature, and gravid proglottids.
• The immature proglottids have not yet evolved sexual organs while the gravid proglottids take after sacs loaded with eggs. Mature proglottids are found among immature and gravid ones.
• Tapeworms are bisexual living beings in light of the fact that each mature fragment contains 350 to 600 testicles and 3 ovary flaps.
• Gravid proglottids are delivered with excrement, beginning at 3-5 months after contamination, and each proglottid contains somewhere in the range of 50,000 and 60,000 eggs, situated inside the multilobulated uterus.
