Does amoeba undergo sexual reproduction?
Biology
ScanSolve AI Answer
Amoeba primarily reproduce asexually through binary fission. However, under unfavorable conditions, some species can undergo a process called encystment, which can be considered a form of sexual reproduction or genetic exchange. This involves the formation of a protective cyst and can lead to genetic recombination when conditions improve and excystment occurs.
