The Unusual Ability of ________ Being Flagellated and Motile Enables

Question

The unusual ability of ________ being flagellated and motile enables ________.
A) ascospores / their dispersal in aquatic systems
B) ascospores / spreading of those pathogens in blood
C) zoospores / dispersal in aquatic systems
D) zoospores / spreading of those pathogens in blood

Accepted Answer

Zoospores are flagellated and motile and are able to move through water to disperse to new locations. Ascospores do not have flagella and are not motile, so they cannot move through water to disperse. Choice A and B are incorrect because ascospores are not flagellated and cannot move through water or blood. Choice D is incorrect because zoospores are not pathogenic and cannot be spread in blood.
