Question

Which of the following is incorrect?

• A. Binary fission - after replicating the genetic material, the cell divides into two nearly equal sized daughter cells
• B. Multiple fission - occurs under unfavourable conditions.
• C. Pseudopodia can grow into new amoeba.
• D. Encystation - formation of cyst or capsule to tide over unfavourable conditions.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Pseudopodia can grow into new amoeba.

Pseudopodia ("false feet") are temporary cytoplasm-filled parts of the cell wall that are able to change their form in order to move. They are used in some eukaryotic cells to move around or to eat. Most cells that do this are called amoeboids. The amoeba is a common example.
