Binary fission occurs in (A)Amoeba (B)Paramecium (C)Both (A) and (B) (D)None of these

Correct option: (C)

Solution:

  • Amoeba and paramecium both show binary fission.
  • Binary fission is an asexual replication between two new bodies through the division of the body.
  • An organism duplicates its genetic material, or deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA).
  • After that breaks it into two pieces (cytokinesis) with one copy of DNA obtained from each new organism.
