The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the process by which matured proglottides with fertilized eggs in the uterus of a tapeworm are regularly detached, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Tapeworm Structure**: - Tapeworms belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes and are characterized by their segmented body structure. Each segment is known as a proglottid. 2. **Identifying Proglottids**: - Proglottids can be either immature, mature, or gravid (which means they contain fertilized eggs). The matured proglottids are the ones that contain fertilized eggs in their uterus. 3. **Process of Detachment**: - In tapeworms, the matured proglottids containing fertilized eggs are regularly detached from the main body of the worm. This is a crucial part of their reproductive strategy. 4. **Terminology**: - The specific term used to describe the regular detachment of these matured proglottids is "apolysis". This term refers to the shedding of segments that are ready to release fertilized eggs. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the process by which matured proglottids with fertilized eggs are regularly detached is known as **apolysis**. ### Final Answer: The process is known as **apolysis** (Option 3). ---
