Sign in to save

Also known as transverse fission

Strobilation or transverse fission is a form of asexual reproduction consisting of the spontaneous transverse segmentation of the body. It is observed in certain cnidarians and helminths. This mode of reproduction is characterized by high offspring output, which, in the case of the parasitic tapeworms, is of great significance.

Unter Strobilation (auch: Strobilisierung) versteht man in der Zoologie eine Art der asexuellen Fortpflanzung durch spontane Abschnürung in Körpersegmente (Strobila). Die Strobilation kommt beim Generationswechsel bestimmter Nesseltiere, den Schirmquallen (Scyphozoa), vor.
