During fetal development, sudoriferous glands develop from the : a. stratum basale b. mesoderm c. mesenchyme d. wharton’s jelly e. endoderm

The correct answer is A) Stratum basale.

Sudoriferous glands are also called as 'Sweat glands'. They are exocrine glands as they secrete their substances through the duct. They are tiny tubular glands with the secretory unit which is present in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue, and a duct which opens on the surface of the skin. Their primary role is regulation of body temperature as by sweating, body heat is lost.

During fetal development, sudoriferous glands develop from the Stratum basale. It is the deepest layer of the epidermis. It is made up of a single layer of cells which are resting upon the basement membrane, a layer present between dermis and epidermis.

Thus, sudoriferous glands are derived from Stratum basale during fetal development.

parasites can detrimentally affect their host, but also must not allow their host to die before they can complete their life cycle. some parasites have complex life cycles with many different hosts, and have had to find ways of persisting in many different environments during the change from one host to another. ectoparasites live outside the body of the host, and can more easily  disperse, but are  more exposed to predators, parasites, parasitoids. endoparasites live inside the body of the host, and are therefore protected from the outside environment. but they can be  attacked by the host's immune system. they have therefore developed  mechanisms for dispersal such as  complex life cycles.
