Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

→ Binary fission  is a kind of asexual reproduction. It is the most common form of reproduction in prokaryotes such as bacteria. It occurs in some single-celled Eukaryotes like the Amoeba and the Paramoecium.  During binary fission, the DNA molecule divides and forms two DNA molecules.

→ Division of the nucleus, simultaneously or successively, into a number of daughter nuclei, followed by division of the cell body into an equal number of parts, each containing a nucleus.

⇒ The organism in which they occur  is amoeba.

⇒ AMOEBA
