(b) What species of freshwater snail is its intermediate host?
Is it more beneficial for Neodermata to have one host or two hosts?
Neodermatahas two classes: class Trematoda and class Monogenea. Class Trematoda has the subclass Digenea, which has organisms that live through at least two different hosts. An example of this is Fasciola hepatica, the sheep's liver fluke. Class Monogenea has organisms that only need to live through one host.
Is it better to have a simple or complex life cycle? Which lives longer? Has more energy? Does more damage or good?
Are there notable similarities in the sex cells and sex organs in the different organisms, namely Saccharomyces, rhizopus, coprinus gill, hydra, and marchantia? What about differences? Elaborate.
