Multiple fission occurs in one of the following. This is:(a) bread mould (b) kala-azar parasite (c) flatworm (d) malaria parasite
Correct Answer: (d) malaria parasite
Explanation:
Plasmodium is a malarial parasite that reproduces through the process of multiple fission inside the mosquito and also inside the human being.
Plasmodium can divide itself into many cells inside the cyst under unfavourable conditions in the host. Under favourable conditions, the cyst ruptures to release large number of off-springs.
Bread mould undergoes reproduction through sporulation method.
The parasite causing kala-azar is known as Leishmania, and it multiplies through the process of binary fission.
Flatworms are hermaphrodite in nature (having both male and female sex organs) and multiply through both, sexual and asexual method of reproduction.
Under asexual reproduction, they undergo budding or transverse fission.
