Read the given paragraph and answer the given question :
Parasitism has evolved in many taxonomic groups from plants to higher vertebrates. Many parasites have evolved to be host specific in such a way that both host and the parasite tend to co-evolve. In accordance with their life styles, parasite evolve special adaptations and complex life cycle. Identify the statements which are not correct regarding host–parasite relationship:
(A) Host and parasite co-evolve.
(B) Parasite develops a main nervous system to survive.
(C) If host rejects parasite, parasite evolves counter-mechanisms to neutralize host defenses.
(D) If host rejects parasite, parasite succeeds by shifting to another host.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A Only (A) and (B)
- B Only (C) and (D)
- C Only (B) and (D)
- D Only (A) and (C)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Only (B) and (D)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement (A) is correct; the paragraph explicitly states host and parasite co-evolve. Statement (B) is not correct; developing a main nervous system is not a general adaptation for parasite survival. Statement (C) is correct; parasites evolve counter-mechanisms as part of…
