Why amoeba withdraws its pseudopodia before binary fission?
Answers
bcoz it's important
By far the most common form of asexual reproduction employed by amoebae is binary fission. In preparation for reproduction, the amoeba will withdraw its pseudopodia and form a spherical shape. Mitosis is observed in the nucleus, and the cytoplasm divides at the center of the cell and separates, forming two daughter cells. Since this process involves simply copying the genetic information to form a second cell, the two resulting daughter cells are identical clones of the parent cell. Thus, the nucleus is absolutely essential for this form of reproduction. This has been verified in experiments involving slicing an amoeba in half or extracting the nucleus from the amoeba. In both situations, the cell eventually dies without a nucleus.
