Asexual reproduction in cryptoschizont

Vedclass · Answer

(D) Schizogony is a form of asexual reproduction in which a parasite,such as the malaria parasite $Plasmodium$,undergoes multiple fission within a host cell. In the life cycle of $Plasmodium$,the stage where the parasite multiplies asexually inside the liver cells (hepatocytes) or red blood cells is known as schizogony. The cryptoschizont is a stage in the liver cycle where this asexual multiplication occurs,leading to the production of merozoites. Therefore,schizogony refers to the process of asexual reproduction occurring within the cryptoschizont stage.
