Solution

The correct option is D two daughter cells are formed
In binary fission, the axis of division can be longitudinal, transverse or oblique.

Generally, division of nucleus (karyokinesis) occurs first in binary fission, it is then followed by the division of cytoplasm (cytokinesis).

Also, no protrusion formation takes place in binary fission. Instead, it is a feature of budding.

It is true that two daughter cells are formed in binary fission. The parent cell divides into two daughter cells.

Question 9
The ability of a cell to divide into several cells during reproduction in Plasmodium is called

(a) budding
(b) reduction division
(c) binary fission
(d) multiple fission

Q. Assertion (A): During binary fission in Amoeba each daughter cell receives a nucleus.

Reason (R): In binary fission, first the nucleus of the parent divides and then the body.

Q. Assertion :Cell division is necessary because it is a physiological process bound to occur as a rule of nature. Reason: Division of nucleus is followed by division of cytoplasm.
