One of the following organisms does not reproduce by binary fission. This is:

(a) Amoeba    (b) Plasmodium    (c) Leishmania    (d)Paramecium


Correct Answer: (b) Plasmodium

Explanation:

Plasmodium is the organism which reproduces by the process of multiple fission.
Multiple fission is a process of asexual reproduction, in which the nucleus of a parent cell divides repeatedly, producing a large number of nuclei, resulting in numerous, similar-sized and identical daughter cells.

While, Amoeba, Leishmania and Paramecium reproduce by binary fission.
