Describe the process by which Amoeba reproduces.

Open in App
Solution

An Amoeba reproduces by the process of binary fission. In this process, the nucleus firstly divides to form two equal parts. This is followed by the division of cytoplasm. The cytoplasm also divides equally into two parts and each part receives a nucleus. This results in the formation of two daughter Amoebae which grow and eventually split to form mature Amoeba.
