Process: Binary fission in Amoeba
Definition: “Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which an organism divides into two, each part carrying one copy of genetic material.”
Explanation: Amoeba is a single-celled eukaryotic organism with no definite shape and moves by means of pseudopodia and it belongs to the kingdom protozoa. Amoeba shows extremely diverse in nature so they reproduce using varieties of different methods such as binary fission, spore and even sexually. Binary fission is the most common method asexual reproduction employed by amoeba. During this stage, amoeba stops its movement by withdrawing its pseudopodia and forms a spherical shape.
The genetic material is divided by the process of mitosis, after the division of cytoplasm follows the division of the nucleus, resulting in two daughter cells which are identical clones obtained by parent cells.
