Write a short note on multiple fission.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Multiple fission: It is the division of the parent body into many smaller individuals (Multi-many, Fission-splitting). Normally multiple fission occurs during unfavourable conditions. During the multiple fission, the nucleus first undergoes repeated mitotic divisions without cytokinesis. This causes the formation of many daughter nuclei. Then the cytoplasm also divides into as many number of bits as there are nuclei. Each cytoplasmic bit encircles one daughter nucleus. This results in the formation of. many smaller individuals from a single parent organism.
There are different types of multiple fissions in protozoans such as Schizogony, male gametogony,sporogony in plasmodium, sporulation in Amoeba etc.
