Question

Animals like amoeba multiply by budding.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Amoeba multiply by the process of binary fission where the parent cell divides into two equal halves. The cell division involves basically two process karyokinesis and cytokinesis. Karyokinesis involves the division of nucleus which is followed by cytokinesis in which the cytoplasm divides and creates a new separate individual. The offspring are identical to the parent.

Budding is the process in which an outgrowth from a parent cell separates during favourable condition and grows into a new individual. It takes place in yeast.
