Detailed explanation-1: -According to the information and image above, which of the following statements best describes the new amoeba cell? The new amoeba cell only contains half of the genetic material from the parent amoeba cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -How does Amoeba reproduce? Amoeba reproduces asexually through binary fission. In this process, an individual divides itself into two daughter cells. These are genetically identical to each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent. The new individuals produced are genetically and physically identical to each other, i.e., they are the clones of their parents. Asexual reproduction is observed in both multicellular and unicellular organisms.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction in which the offspring produced is exactly similar to the parent. Also, neither there is formation of two different gametes, nor there is an involvement of two different sexes. In case of unicellular organisms, mitosis is a mode of asexual reproduction.
