Generally this is thought to be a function of Mitosis, or a-sexual reproduction. In the case of an Amoeba the parent cell divides in half, using cellular fission and creates a completely separate and self sufficient "daughter" cell.

What is an organism that splits itself in half and produces two new identical cells called?

An organism that splits itself in half to produce two identical cells is called a "binary fission" organism. This process is commonly observed in unicellular organisms, such as bacteria and some protists. During binary fission, the parent cell divides into two equal-sized daughter cells, each containing a copy of the parent's genetic material. This method of reproduction allows for rapid population growth in favorable conditions.

What the different between sexual reproduction and asexual?

sexual reproduction requires meiosis, a process in which a parent cell divides to in half and only have half on the chromosomes: 23 asexual reproduction is a process in which only one parent produces another organism :)


Is it true that egg and sperm each have twice the number of chromosome as parent organism?

No, that statement is incorrect. Egg and sperm each contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent organism. When they fuse during fertilization, they combine to create a new cell with the full set of chromosomes.
