What are the two types of Fission?

  • Binary fission

  • Multiple fission

2
New cards

Fission

  • An organism divides into two or more parts, each of which develops into a new individuals

3
New cards

Examples of Binary Fission

  • Amoeba

  • Leishmania

4
New cards

Example of multiple fission

  • Plasmodium

5
New cards

In what organism does binary fission occur in relation to the shape of the organism?

  • Leishmania

6
New cards

Fragmentation

  • Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction where the parent organism breaks into two or more fragments, and each fragment grows into a complete new individual.

7
New cards

Examples of Fragmentation

  • Spirogyra

8
New cards

Why cant all multi cellular organisms use fragmentation?

  • They are not a random collection of cells

  • They have specialised cells serving a certain purpose

  • In such a carefully organism structure, cell by cell division is impractical

9
New cards

Regeneration

  • If the individual is somehow cut or broken up into many pieces, many of these pieces grow into separate individuals.

10
New cards

Examples of Regeneration

  • Hydra

  • Planaria

11
New cards

Regeneration is carried through what?

  • Through specialised cells

12
New cards

Explain how a new organism is developed through regeneration?

  • Specialised mass of cells

  • Different cells become various cell types and tissues

  • These changes take place in an organised
