The correct Answer is:
To determine which organism does not reproduce by binary fission, we will analyze the given options one by one: 1. **Amoeba**: - Amoeba reproduces asexually through a process known as binary fission. Specifically, it undergoes irregular binary fission. - Therefore, binary fission is present in Amoeba. 2. **Paramecium**: - Paramecium also reproduces asexually by binary fission, which is known as transverse binary fission. - Hence, binary fission is present in Paramecium. 3. **Euglena**: - Euglena reproduces asexually through binary fission as well, specifically through longitudinal binary fission. - Thus, binary fission is present in Euglena. 4. **Plasmodium**: - Plasmodium primarily reproduces sexually through a process called isogamy. When it reproduces asexually, it does so through a process known as schizogony, which is a form of multiple fission. - Therefore, binary fission is absent in Plasmodium. Based on the analysis, the organism in which binary fission is absent is **Plasmodium**. ### Final Answer: Binary fission is absent in **Plasmodium**.
