Question

Describe the process of longitudinal binary fission in Euglena.

Answer 1

the process of longitudinal binary fission in Euglena Euglena reproduce asexually throughbinary fission, a form of cell division. Reproduction begins with the mitosis of the cell nucleus, followed by the division of the cell itself. Euglenadivide longitudinally, beginning at the front end of the cell, with the duplication of flagellar processes, gullet and stigma.

Answer 2

Ans- Euglena reproduces asexually through a process called longitudinal binary fission in which cytokinesis takes place along the longitudinal axis. During this process

1. nucleus undergoes mitosis first, then

2. cell undergoes mitosis long ways, front end to back end

3. flagellar processes, gullet and stigma duplicate

4. a V-shaped cleavage forms in the anterior of the cell and gradually splits the entire cell into 2.
