Cycliophorans have two types of larvae. One type of larva?the Prometheus larva?develops into a male. The male, which lacks a digestive system, attaches to the outside of a feeding stage (a female) and impregnates her digestive system, which develops into a different type of larva. What must be true of the digestive system of the feeding-stage female while she is still a virgin? 1. At least some of its cells are haploid. 2. It consists only of highly specialized cells. 3. It is the same size as the male.
