Oxytricha protozoa reproducing by fission, light micrograph
Darkfield light micrograph of Oxytricha sp. ciliate protozoa reproducing via binary fission. The Oxytricha protozoa are undergoing different phases of asexual binary fission. During fission, the micronucleus undergoes mitosis and the macronucleus elongates and undergoes amitosis. The cell then divides in two and each new cell obtains a copy of the micronucleus and the macronucleus., Photo by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
