scilearner Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Hello guys, What does moulting mean. I think it is shedding off the cuticle. But what is the cuticle. Is the outer protecting covering of the larvae, or does the adult have it too. Do you have like multiple cuticle layers to begin with, and then shed them off or you grow a new cuticle and then shed the old one. Do adult parasites also moult. When you see a histological appearance of an egg (example ascaris lumbricoides pic below, can you see the cuticle as well, or does the larvae only have this) Also can the female egg just lay eggs without mating with a male partner, are these called unfertilized eggs. Also what are decorticated eggs. Thanks Edited October 16, 2011 by scilearner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
