  The ability of a cell to divide into several cells during reproduction in Plasmodium is called (a) budding         (b) reduction division     (c) binary fission               (d) multiple fission

Answer:

                  (d) Multiple fission-organisms divide into many daughter cells simultaneously, e.g., Plasmodium Budding-small bud develops on the cell wall of organism that separate and grow further, e.g., yeast. Reduction division-meiosis is described as a process of reduction division. The number of chromosomes are reduced to half. Binary fission-organisms divide into two daughter cells, e.g., Amoeba.
