Explain with the help of a diagram, how binary fission takes place in Amoeba.

Solution

Binary fission is the simplest type of asexual reproduction and is seen in single-celled organisms such as Amoeba. First, its nucleus divides into two equal halves. Then the cytoplasm also divides into two parts, each part receiving a nucleus. The two daughter cells thus formed grow and attain full size before they split again.
