Question

Four stages of binary fission in Amoeba are shown below. The stage at which nuclear fission and cytokinesis are observed is, stage:




(1) I
(2) II
(3) III
(4) IV

Answer 1

The stage at which nuclear fission and cytokinesis are observed in Amoeba is stage II.

The process of binary fission begins with the division of the nucleus into two (cytokinesis), which is then followed by the division of the amoebic body into 2 daughter cells. Each daughter cell contains a nucleus.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
