Question

Amoeba multiplies by mitotic cell division. Is this phenomena growth or reproduction? Explain.

Answer 1

This is an example of biological reproduction.

Explanation:

There are many methods of biological reproduction which different species use to replicate themselves.

Similarly,the unicellular organisms like ameoba uses the simple mitotic cell division process which is a type of asexual reproduction.

That's why it is the phenomenon of biological reproduction.

Answer 2

Amoeba multiplies by mitotic cell division is a reproduction.

Explanation:

This is not growth as the amoeba is a unicellular organism so the mitosis of the unicellular organisms creates an individual amoeba. So this is a reproduction. In the multi cellular organisms the mitosis cell division creates growth in organisms.  

So in the amoeba the mitotic cell division is a form of the reproduction by which a new amoeba will form. It is also called binary fission.
