Question

In which organism cell division is a mode of reproduction?

Answer 1

Cell division as a reproduction:

1. Multicellular organisms grow via a process of cellular division referred to as mitosis, whereas others (being unicellular) grow or reproduce via a process termed binary fission.
2. The division of cells in itself is a mode of reproduction which is found in unicellular organisms like amoeba and paramoecium.
3. Asexual reproduction is quite common among single-celled organisms.
4. In Protists and Monerans, the organism's cell divides into two and gives rise to new individuals.
5. Therefore, in these organisms cell division is itself a mode of reproduction.
