Ciliates reproduce via binary fission, they have cilia & rarely cause human disease correct answers True. Describe Ciliates correct answers Ciliates: -Binary fission -hairlike sturctures = cilia -rarely cause human disease Ex: Balantidium coli True or False? Similar to Ciliates, Sporozoa do not often cause human disease correct answers False! Plasmodium causes malaria! But, Ciliates do not often cause disease, that is true.
