Question

Difference between binary fission in ameoba and multiple fission in plasmodium

Answer 1

Binary fission in Amoeba :

This type of cell division takes place in favorable condition when nutrients are abundantly available to Amoeba.
In the division, amoeba undergoes both cytoplasmic division as well as nuclear division.

Multiple Fission in Plasmodium :

This type of Cell division involves only nuclear division.
Several nuclei are formed inside the cyst.
i.e. one cell consists of several nuclei.
During favorable condition, the cyst breaks open and nuclei are released out of the cell and are allowed to live independently.

This type of division also takes place in amoeba during Unfavourable conditions.

Answer 2

Answer:

Both amoeba and plasmodium reproduce asexually by fission. But the difference is that amoeba undergoes binary fission. i.e. amoeba divides to produce two daughter amoebae whereas plasmodium undergoes multiple fission . i.e. many simultaneously by a single organism.
