Question

Define binary fission. What is the difference between binary fission in Plasmodium and Euglena ?

Answer 1

Binary Fission:- The process in which a parent cell splits into two daughter cells of approximately equal size.

Differences:

Amoeba is a simple, unicellular organism which reproduces by binary fission. The division begins with the division of nucleus.

*Paramecium is a ciliate protozoan which reproduces asexually by the process of binary fission .The process differs from that of ameoba is that the cytoplasm and nucleus divide simultaneously to give rise to new daughter cells.

*Euglena's reproduction begins with the mitosis of the cell nucleus, followed by the division of the cell itself. Euglena divide longitudinally, beginning at the front end of the cell, with the duplication of flagellar processes, gullet and stigma. Presently, a cleavage forms in the anterior, and a V-shaped bifurcation gradually moves toward the posterior, until the two halves are entirely separated.
