Question

Identify the type of reproduction shown in the diagram given below:

Options

• Budding

• Fragmentation

• Spore Formation

• Binary Fission

Answer 1

Binary Fission

Explanation:

The diagram shows the stages of division in an organism like Amoeba:

1. The parent cell grows, and the nucleus begins to elongate.
2. The nucleus divides into two (Karyokinesis).
3. The cytoplasm starts to constrict in the middle.
4. The cytoplasm divides (Cytokinesis), resulting in two independent daughter cells.

This specific process of splitting into two identical individuals is called binary fission.
