    Sexual mode of reproduction in Protozoa

    A)  anisogamy

    B)  plasmogamy

    C)  plasmotomy

    D)  schizogony

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Anisogamy is the type of sexual reproduction, in which isogametes (gamete having same shape and size) fuse and form a diploid zygote, eg, Plasmodium. Schizogamy is an asexual phase in protozoans which is merely a simple multiple fission of shizont. The Plasmogamy is the union of protoplasts of two cells. This process generally takes place before karyogamy, ie/before nucleus fusion, in a sexual reproduction process. Plasmotomy is a special type of binary fission.
