Question
For binary fission, Amoeba required .................... parent cells.
(a) Three
(b) Two
(c) One
(d) Zero
Solution
(c) One
Amoeba undergoes asexual reproduction by binary fission. In this method, a single parent cell divides into two equal or nearly equal parts. Each part grows into a new individual.

When the branches of a plant growing in the field are pulled towards the ground and a part of them is covered with moist soil (leaving the tips of the branches exposed above the ground), then after some time new roots develop from the parts of branches buried in the soil.
