Under favourable conditions, Amoeba reproduces asexually by Correct Answer Binary fission

The correct answer is Binary fission.

Key Points

  • Asexual reproduction refers to the process of the reproduction of identical offspring of an individual organism.
  • Budding is asexual reproduction that does not require the fusion of gametes.
  • In this type of reproduction, a new organism is reproduced from an outgrowth or bud because of the division of cells at one particular place.
  • The bud remains attached to its parent plant and gets separated after getting mature.
  • It leaves a scar at the point of separation and the newly developed organism is a clone of its parent cell.
  • The offspring which is reproduced by the method of asexual reproduction are called clones.
  • Hydra reproduces with the help of regenerative cells under the budding method of asexual reproduction.
  • Multiple fission occurs in many protists such as algae and sporozoan at the cellular level.
  • Under favourable conditions, Amoeba reproduces asexually by Binary fission.
  • Under unfavourable conditions, Amoeba reproduces by sporulation.
  • As the parental body is distributed among the offspring in single-celled organisms like Amoeba and bacteria, therefore, no natural death occurs among them.
  • Examples of organisms in which the binary fission method of asexual reproduction takes place are Paramoecium.
