What is the difference in fission in amoeba and paramicium and leishmania
Answers
Answer:
Binary fission is the most common asexual reproduction method exhibited by prokaryotic organisms and single cell eukaryotic organisms. Binary fission results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single mature cell. Most bacteria and single cell eukaryotic organisms depend on binary fission for propagation since it’s a simple and fast process. Amoeba and Leishmania are two single cell eukaryotic organisms. In amoeba, splitting into two cells can happen in any place. Leishmania has a whip-like structure called flagellum at one end of the body. Hence, binary fission occurs longitudinally (in a definite orientation) in relation to this flagellum. The key difference between binary fission of amoeba and Leishmania is that binary fission of amoeba is feasible from any place of the amoeba cell while the binary fission of Leishmania is feasible in a definite orientation due to a flagellum located at one end.
