(AIIMS-2007)
Solution
Reproduction is the production of a new generation of individuals of the same species. It involves transfer of genetic material from one generation to the next. Asexual and sexual are the two types of reproduction. Fission and budding are two most common forms of asexual reproduction in animals. During adverse conditions, amoeba reproduces by multiple fission that gives rise to many amoeba. Euglena reproduces by longitudinal binary fission, Paramecium reproduces by transverse binary fission and Plasmodium reproduces by multiple fission
