Answer
Asexual reproduction in Paramecium occurs through binary fission.
Step-by-step solution
5 stepsThe macronucleus elongates and divides amitotically (without forming chromosomes).
The micronucleus undergoes mitosis, dividing into two.
The cytoplasm begins to constrict in the middle.
The oral groove and gullet are duplicated.
The constriction deepens, eventually dividing the parent cell into two daughter cells.
Each daughter cell receives a macronucleus and a micronucleus.
