Question

Find the correct set of difference for binary fission and multiple fission from the following table:

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Binary fission}& \text{Multiple fission}\\ \text{A. Many individuals formed from a single}& \text{Two individuals formed from a single}\\ \text{parent}& \text{parent}\\ \text{B. Form cyst during unfavorable}& \text{No cyst formation}\\ \text{conditions}& \\ \text{C. Bacteria show binary fission}& \text{Plasmodium show multiple fisson}\\ \text{D. No definite pattern of division}& \text{Division occurs in a particular pattern}\end{array}$

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Answer 1

The correct option is C C

Binary fission - Two individuals are formed from a single parent. No cyst formation is noticed and division occurs in a particular pattern like longitudinal or transverse. Example includes Bacteria.

Multiple fission - Many individuals are formed from a single parent. Cyst formation takes place during unfavourable conditions and there is no definite pattern of division. Example includes Plasmodium.
