Q

How do turbellaria reproduce sexually? (3 steps)

A

  2. Zygotes are enclosed in a cocoon
  3. Zygotes develop into immature turbellarians that break out of the cocoon when the weather is good.

Q

Describe the eight (8) step life cycle of the human liver fluke

A
  1. Fluke eggs shed in feces of infected people and are washed into fresh water
  2. Fluke larva (miracidium) emerges from egg and ingested by snail
  3. Miracidium loses cilia to become a sporocyst
  4. Sporocyst grows into a redia that can reproduce asexually.
  5. Redia reproduces forming more rediae.
  6. Snail deteriorates and rediae grow tails to become cercaria.
  7. The cercaria attaches to fish using tail, loses tail and encysts to form a metacercaria.
  8. Humans eat raw fish and digestive juices release metacercaria which grows into sexually reproduce adult.
