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.
