Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sporozoans, such as Plasmodium which causes malaria, have complicated parasitic life cycles that involve the production of infective spores. This is a key feature of sporozoans. Zooflagellates, ciliates, slime molds, and diatoms do not have the same type of life cycle or reliance on spore production.
