Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Simple morphologies have been naturally selected for in most parasites as they often have a narrow range of habitat and limited access to resources. This means that they have evolved to be highly specialized to their host or environment, and often have reduced or absent structures that are not necessary for their survival.
