i) fragmentation ii) binary fission iii) budding iv) spore formation

Answer 1

The method of reproduction in unicellular organisms like amoeba and bacteria in which they split into two equal halves and produce new ones is called binary fission.

After replicating genetic material by the process of mitotic division, the cell divides into two equal sized daughter cells.

Later this material is also equally partitioned and so the daughter cells are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell as well.
