Open in App
Solution

  • Amoeba reproduces by an asexual method known as binary fission.
  • This happens as follows:
  • When the Amoeba cell has reached maximum size of growth, then first the nucleus lengthens and divides into two.
  • After that the cytoplasm divides into two parts, one part around each nucleus.
  • This results in the development of two daughter cells, each with its own nucleus and cell organelles.
