Embryogenesis in " Drosophila " is unique among model organisms in that cleavage occurs in a multinucleate syncytium ( strictly a coenocyte ).
2.
The resulting structure, a coenocyte, is created by many nuclear divisions without the process of cytokinesis which in other organisms pulls newlydivided cells apart.
3.
:The articles say a syncytium is " cell-like " ( but, presumably, not a cell ) with multiple nucleii, while a coenocyte is a " cell " with multiple nucleii.
4.
The schizont of apicomplexan parasites is a form of a coenocyte ( i . e . a plasmodium in the general sense ) as well as the plasmodia of microsporidian ( Fungi ) and myxosporidian ( Metazoa ) parasites.
