Question

Find out the correct pairs from the following options.

• A. Paramecium – Simple binary fission, Amoeba – Transverse binary fission, Euglena – Longitudinal binary fission
• B. Amoeba – Simple binary fission, Paramecium – Transverse binary fission, Leishmania – Longitudinal binary fission
• C. Leishmania – Simple binary fission, Paramecium – Transverse binary fission, amoeba – Longitudinal binary fission
• D. Euglena – Simple binary fission, Volvox – Transverse binary fission, Leishmania – Longitudnal binary fission

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Amoeba – Simple binary fission, Paramecium – Transverse binary fission, Leishmania – Longitudinal binary fission

Amoeba – simple binary fission, Paramecium – Transverse binary fission, Leishmania – Longitudinal binary fission

Simple binary fission: When the cytoplasmic division passes through any plane, the fission is called simple binary fission.
Transverse binary fission: When the plane of cytoplasmic division coincides with the transverse axis of the individual, the fission is called transverse binary fission.
Longitudinal binary fission: When the plane of cytoplasmic division coincides with the longitudinal axis of the individual, the fission is called longitudinal binary fission.
