The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Binary Fission**: - Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a single organism divides into two identical daughter organisms. This process involves the duplication of genetic material (DNA) followed by the division of the cytoplasm (cytokinesis). 2. **Identifying the Organisms**: - The question provides four options: - Vorticella - Planaria - Paramecium - All of these 3. **Analyzing Each Organism**: - **Vorticella**: This is a protozoan that reproduces asexually through binary fission. - **Planaria**: While planaria are flatworms that can reproduce asexually through regeneration, they do not typically reproduce by binary fission. - **Paramecium**: This is also a protozoan that reproduces asexually through binary fission. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the given options, Vorticella and Paramecium reproduce by binary fission. Planaria does not reproduce by binary fission; hence, it is not included. Therefore, the correct answer is that binary fission is found in Vorticella and Paramecium, but not Planaria. 5. **Final Answer**: - The correct option is **Vorticella and Paramecium**. However, if the question implies that "all of these" refers to the organisms that can reproduce asexually, then the answer could be interpreted as **All of these**, but strictly speaking, only Vorticella and Paramecium reproduce by binary fission.
