which type of reproduction occurs in lieshmania and plasmodium and why?

multiple fission occurs in plasmodium

In both asexual mode of reproduction
But Binary fission in lieshmania because it divides into 2 daughters.
and multiple fission in plasmodium because it divides in multiple daughter.




Diagram for binary fission in lieshmania

Leishmania -: It reproduces by binary fission, but takes place in a definite orientation as it has whip like structure at its one end.
Plasmodium -: It reproduces by multiple fission in which it divides itself into many daughter cells simultaneously and inside its cell wall it contains many daughter cells having nucleus in each.

Both are asexual mode of reproduction
But in leishmania, one parent divides into 2 daughters, this is binary fission: -

And in plasmodium, one parent divides into multiple daughters, this is multiple fission;-

Binary fission because these unicellular organisms show somewhat more organisations of their bodies and this organism has a whip like structure at one end of the cells.In such organisms binari fission occurs in a definite orientation in relation to these structures.

plasmodium divides into many daughter cells simultaneously by multiple fission
