Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following describes asexual reproduction?
A
the process of meiosis in a fruit fly
B
fertilization of a chicken egg
C
binary fission in an amoeba
D
the process of embryo development in a mouse
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Amoeba reproduces asexually by the process called binary fission. Binary fission occurs in single-celled organisms belonging to Kingdom Monera, and Protista (Amoeba and paramecium). In this process, the parent organism divides into two halves, each half forming an independent daughter organism.

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: -Binary Fission in Amoeba :-Binary fission is asexual; the organism splits directly into two equal-sized offsprings, each with a copy of the parent’s genetic material. Binary fission is a common type of reproduction in single-celled organisms. 1) Chromsome is replicated. 2) The Chromsome Splits into Daughter Strands.
