The following points highlight the five modes of locomotion in Protists. The modes are: 1. Pseudopodial Locomotion 2. Flagellar Locomotion 3. Ciliary Locomotion 4. Wriggling Locomotion 5. Locomotion by Mucilage Propulsion. Mode # 1. Pseudopodial Locomotion: It is slow creeping type of locomotion which is performed with the help of protoplasmic outgrowths called pseudopodia. Pseudopodial locomotion occurs in sarcodines and [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between life cycle with Zygotic and Gametic Meiosis. Difference # Life Cycle of Zygotic Meiosis: 1. Zygote is the only diploid structure in the life cycle. 2. The dominant individual in the life cycle is haploid hence the life cycle is haplontic. 3. Meiosis takes place at the time of zygote [...]
The following points highlight the two hosts for completion of life cycle of plasmodium. The hosts are: 1. Life Cycle of Plasmodium in Man 2. Life Cycle of Plasmodium in Female Anopheles Mosquito. Host # 1. Life Cycle of Plasmodium in Man: Infection of man: The infective stage of Plasmodium is a minute organism called sporozoite. When the female Anopheles [...]
