![]() ![]() It increases the external differences in offspring’s. The syngamy brings about a combination of two different lines of hereditary characters. Examples: Plasmodium, Eimeria, Volvox, etc. The fusion of two macrogametes is called Macro-gamy. The larger gametes, macrogametes, are immotile, voluminous, and referred to as female gametes. The fusion of two microgametes is called Micro-gamy. They are produced by multiple or repeated fissions. The smaller gametes, the microgametes, or male gametes, are active, motile, generally flagellated and more numerous. The formation of morphologically different gametes, is the first indication of sex differentiation in Protozoa. The gametes are termed as heterogametes or anisogametes and their fusion is known as anisogamy or heterogamy. The two fusing gametes differ in size, shape and behaviour. Isogamy has been reported in Foraminifera (Elphidium), Phytomonadina (Chlamydomonas, Copromonas) and Gregarinida (Monocystis). The isogametes are produced by multiple or repeated binary fission. Union of the gametes of similar size and shape. The uniting individuals are smaller than the ordinary vegetative individuals, called merogametes. The two mature individuals behave as gametes and fuse. Examples: Actinophrys, Actinosphaerium, Paramoecium aurelia, etc. The gametes derived from the same parent cell fuse. The zygotes develop into adult, either directly or through encystment and fission of various types.ĭepending upon the degree of differentiation of the fusing gametes syngamy may be of the following types: The nuclei of the gametes fuse to form the zygote nucleus or synkaryon. Syngamy is the complete and permanent union or fusion of two specialised protozoan individuals or gametes resulting in the formation of a fertilized cell or zygote or oospore. Of different types of sexual reproduction in protozoans syngamy, conjugation, automyxis are important. This is termed as zygotic meiosis, in which only zygote is diploid but rest of the life cycle is haploid. This is called gametic meiosis, in which gametes become haploid.īut in some protozoans reduction division occurs in one of the subsequent divisions after formation of zygote. In majority, reduction division occurs shortly before syngamy. Sexual reproduction involves meiotic division reducing the chromosomes to haploid number. However, there are many protozoans in which sexual reproduction is of regular occurrence. Most protists (protozoa) can continue to live, multiplying asexually for prolonged periods and may undergo sexual reproduction only at irregular intervals. The two units (male and female gametes) from two separate individuals unite by fusion of their cytoplasm, followed by the union of their nuclei. The modes of reproduction in which two gametes unite to form a new individual is known as sexual reproduction. It may be simple or multiple, exogenous or endogenous. New individuals are produced by separation of a portion of the cytoplasm of the parent organism with a daughter nucleus. The daughter individuals regain the normal size and the number of nuclei is restored by further nuclear division. The multinucleate individual divides into many small multinucleate offspring’s by simple division of cytoplasm independent of nuclear division. Motile spores are known as swarmer’s or swarmospores. ![]() The products are surrounded by a cyst or a resistant covering and termed as spores. It is due to mature time of the offspring, which is different in the two mechanisms.It occurs following sexual fusion. Number of cells N as function of time t for binary fission shows a smooth curve compared to budding which produce a step-like curve. The former force holds for r ij 1 that two or more clusters of cells are collapsing to produce single cluster. There are only two force types are considered, which are normal force as the repulsive force and a gravitational-like force as the attractive force. There is also reproduction period after a cell is mature, which is the time it repeats the reproduction process. Cell requires to grow until it reaches its mature state and then it can reproduce an offspring through one of the two mechanisms. Budding will produce smaller size of offspring, while binary fission will produce offspring with the same size as its parent. ![]() These two mechanisms have different steps in producing the offspring. The first is budding and the second is binary fission. Simulation of cell asexual reproduction is performed through two different mechanisms in this work. ![]()
