Reproduction in Euglena

Reproduction in Euglena In E. viridis no sexual reproduction occurs. It reproduces by asexual binary and multiple fissions and undergoes encystment. Under favorable conditions euglenas reproduce by longitudinal binary fission.  The longitudinal binary fission is always symmetrogenic, that is, the parental Euglena divides into two daughter individuals, where one is the plane mirror image of [...]

Structure of a Flagellum under Electron Microscope

Warner and Satir (1974) described the structure of a flagellum as seen under Electron Microscope. According to them various microtubules extending from the base to the tip of the flagellum construct the basic frame work of a flagellum. These are altogether eleven microtubules of which nine are situated at the periphery and two at the [...]
