- RBC of human
- intestine of parasite
- liver of human
- liver of parasite
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Schizogony is stage in asexual reproduction of Plasmodium (malarial parasite) in which schizont is formed. From the human biood sporozoites enter the liver cells. The sporozoite grows in size to become a rounded schizont called cryptozoite. The latter divides to form cryptomerozoites (= merozoites). The merozoites are asexual haploid forms. The host liver cells rupture to liberate the cryptomerozoites into the liver sinusoids.

- Asexual Reproduction
- Asexual reproduction involves a single parent to produce offspring without the formation of gametes. It occurs by the following ways: Fission, Budding, Fragmentation, Spore formation and Regeneration. In one of the methods like regeneration, Planaria A is cut horizontally into three pieces – L, M and N and Planaria B is cut vertically into two equal halves – O and P.
(a) Which of the cut pieces of the two Planaria could regenerate to form a complete organism?
(b) Give an example of another organism which follows the same mode of reproduction as Planaria.
(c) What is the meaning of ‘development’ in regeneration?

Concepts Used:
Asexual Reproduction
The mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent is known as asexual reproduction. The new individuals produced are genetically and physically identical to each other, i.e., they are the clones of their parents.
Features of Asexual Reproduction:
- Only single parents are involved.
- The fertilization or gamete formation cannot take place.
- This process of reproduction occurs in a very short time.
- The organisms multiply and grow rapidly.
- In this offspring produced is genetically similar.
