How does multiple fission occur in Amoeba?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Amoeba reproduces by multiple fission during unfavourable conditions. It secretes three-layered protective cyst and the nucleus divides repeatedly to form several daughter nuclei. Each daughter nucleus with a small amount of cytoplasm forms a daughter Amoeba called amebula. Under favourable conditions, the cyst wall breaks up releasing daughter amebulae. Each daughter amebula develops pseudopodia, feeds and grows into an adult Amoeba.
