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 around itself. Its nucleus divides repeatedly to form several daughter nuclei. Each daughter nucleus with a small amount of cytoplasm forms a daughter Amoeba called amoebae. Under favourable conditions, the cyst wall breaks up releasing young amoebae. Each young one develops pseudopodia, feeds and grows into an adult Amoeba.
