Question

protozoan reproduce by binary fission as well as by multiple fission. which is better mode of reproduction and why?

Answer 1

Multiple fission is better than binary fission because in multiple fission single organisms give rise to a large number of new organism at a time. This means the production rate is high which may be beneficial for the protozoa as it leads to better chances of their survival. These unicellular organisms has a very short life span, so it is important for them to reproduce rapidly.
