Q: A sexual reproduction as in the case of amoeba in which an animal reproduces by dividing into two individuals is called:
  • A. Transverse fission
  • B. Longitudinal fission
  • C. Simple fission
  • D. Binary fission
Correct Answer: Option D - Amoeba reproduces asexually by the process called binary fission. Binary fission occurs in single- celled organisms belonging to Kingdom Monera, and Protista (Amoeba and Paramecium). In this process, the parent organism divides into two halves, each half forming an independent daughter organism.
