Endodyogeny
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Endodyogeny is a process of asexual reproduction, favoured by parasitic protozoa such as Toxoplasma gondii. It involves an unusual process in which two daughter cells are produced inside a mother cell, which is then consumed by the offspring prior to their separation.
