difference between fission in ameoba, leishmania and plasmodium...........
plz give the answer ............
Dear student,
Leishmania is a protozoan parasite that reproduces generally by binary fission. In Leishmania , binary fission occurs in one particular axis. They divide only longitudinally. Leishmani a has whip-like flagella at one end of the cell. Cell division occurs in relation to these flagella.
Asexual reproduction in Paramecium occurs by transverse binary division. It takes place under favourable food and environmental conditions. During division, constriction appears in the middle of the body during elongation of macronucleus which divides the animal into two. Thus, as a result of transverse binary fission, a Paramecium divides into two daughter Paramecia.
Plasmodium is a endoparasite that reproduce via multiple fission. In multiple fission the nucleus divides several times simultaneously or successively into a number of daughter nuclei and then the cytoplasm divides into as many cells as there are nuclei each cell containing a nucleus. It is the common form of asexual reproduction in certain acellular organisms.
Regards
