Question

Explain binary fission in leishmania?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Binary fission is the process of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes (amoeba, leishmania)... in which a parent cell divides into two daughter cell....

Leishmania has a whip like structure at one end

which helps in binary fission to occur in a definite orientation wrt it's body structure....

1. Nuclear division is followed by the appearance of a constriction in the cell membrane.

2. The membrane then grows transversely inward from near the middle of the dividing cell.

3. Cytoplasm separates into two equal parts, each with one nucleus.

4. The two daughter cell may separate from each other and behave as two independent organisms.

HOPE IT HELPS :)
