Review Questions
Name (at least) three key features that make Toxoplasma a model experimental parasitic organism: Name (at least) two components of the Toxoplasma apical complex: Superficially, Toxoplasma and Plasmodium appear to divide by quite different processes: Toxoplasma produces two daughters, while Plasmodium produces ~16 (in the acutely lytic stages of human infection). Why might one consider the replication these parasites more notable for their similarities than their differences: What is "endosymbiosis"? What is "secondary endosymbiosis"? Which toxoplasma organelles derived from endosymbiotic events? What are some key events that take place during the process of endodyogeny? There is no evidence that classical lysosomes exist in apicomplexan parasites. If this is true, what happens to waste material generated in parasites?
