Does leishmania reproduce through binary fission or multiple fission?

Answer 1

The amoeba usually reproduces asexually by a process called binary fission (splitting in two), in which the cytoplasm simply pinches in half and pulls apart to form two identical organisms (daughter cells). This occurs after the parent amoeba's genetic (hereditary) material, contained in the nucleus, is replicated and the nucleus divides (a process known as mitosis). Thus, the hereditary material is identical in the two daughter cells. If an amoeba is cut in two, the half that contains the nucleus can survive and form new cytoplasm. The half without a nucleus soon dies. This demonstrates the importance of the nucleus in reproduction.

Answer 2

Yes they do undergo binary fission. After all amoeba is a bacteria and is a single cell organism or what in the scientific term,(Unicelluar Organisms). Paramedic and Bacteria also are unicellular organisms.(Just an additional information)

Answer 3

An amoeba contains a nucleus and cytoplasm,when nucleus the amoeba is fully grown its nucleus divides as well as the cytoplasm and produces new amoeba.

Answer 4

Amoeba shows only Binary fission

Answer 5

binary fission
