Question

When does multiple fission take place in organisms.Give two examples of organisms which reproduce through this method?

Answer 1

Plasmodium and amoeba

Answer 2

1.Fission of protists. Multiple fission at the cellular level occurs in many protists, e.g. sporozoans and algae. The nucleus of the parent cell divides several times by amitosis, producing several nuclei. The cytoplasm then separates, creating multiple daughter cells.

2.Many organisms can reproduce sexually as well as asexually. Aphids, slime molds, sea anemones, some species of starfish (by fragmentation), and many plants are examples.
