SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This type of asexual reproduction splits one cell into two
A
binary fission
B
budding
C
regeneration
D
parthenogenesis
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: -Fission. In fission (or binary fission), a parent separates into two or more individuals of about equal size. This type of reproduction is common among single-celled organisms including bacteria, archaea, and unicellular eukaryotes, such as protists and some fungi. The single cell divides into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two types of binary fission: transverse (e.g., Paramoecium) and longitudinal (e.g., Euglena).

Detailed explanation-4: -All prokaryotes and some eukaryotes reproduce this way. There are several different methods of asexual reproduction. They include binary fission, fragmentation, and budding. Binary fission occurs when a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells of the same size.

Detailed explanation-5: -Organisms like the amoeba, bacteria, euglena, etc., exhibit binary fission. During multiple fission, organism divides itself into numerous daughter cells. Examples of multiple fission are sporozoans and algae.
