Question

Sporulation of amoeba occurs during ___________.
A. Favorable conditions
B. Unfavorable conditions
C. Both
D. None

Answer 1

Hint: Amoeba generally reproduces by binary fission where the organism divides into two. Each daughter cell carries one copy of the genetic information

Complete answer:
Sporulation: this is the process of multiplication where amoeba carries out the production of spores which germinates when conditions become favorable. When during the cell cycle its time for the bacteria to reproduce but the conditions aren’t favorable the amoeba develops a tough wall around it known as a cyst, encysted amoeba divides by multiple fission and produces multiple pseudopodiospores. This phenomenon is known as sporulation. When the favorable condition approaches the wall of the cyst bursts out, and the pseudopodia spores are scattered in the surrounding medium to grow up into many amoebae.

Favorable conditions include high moisture, high humidity, optimum temperature, and nutrition source.
Unfavorable conditions include extremely high or extremely low temperatures, no moisture, and no humidity or absence of nutrition source.

So, the correct answer is Unfavorable conditions.

Note: Binary fission is not the same as Mitosis. Binary fission doesn’t include the steps of spindle formation or involve sister chromatids. Binary fission is a rapid process and is a mode of reproduction whereas mitosis is a controlled process, divided into multiple stages, and is a mode of growth and development where asexual reproduction is one of its many uses. Cellular components like ribosomes double before binary fission, unlike mitosis where this happens in the interphase.
