Fission of apicomplexans

In the apicomplexans, a phylum of parasitic protists, multiple fission, or schizogony, is manifested either as merogony, sporogony, or gametogony. Merogony results in merozoites, which are multiple daughter cells that originate within the same cell membrane; sporogony results in sporozoites, and gametogony results in micro gametes.
