Detailed explanation-1: -Amoeba reproduces asexually through binary fission. In this process, an individual divides itself into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Binary fission is a kind of asexual reproduction. It is the most common form of reproduction in prokaryotes such as bacteria. This process occurs in some single-celled eukaryotes like amoeba and paramecium.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is binary fission? In biology, binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a parent cell divides, resulting in two identical cells, each having the potential to grow to the size of the original cell. The word asexual describes a reproduction that occurs without involving sex cells (gametes).

Detailed explanation-4: -Paramecium Reproduction. Asexual Reproduction in paramecium is by binary fission. The mature cell divides into two cells and each grows rapidly and develops into a new organism. Under favourable conditions, Paramecium multiplies rapidly up to three times a day.

Detailed explanation-5: -Therefore during unfavourable conditions Amoeba reproduce by multiple fission and during favourable conditions Amoeba reproduces by binary fission.
