    Question

    Which of the following organisms does NOT show asexual reproduction by means of fission?

    A.

    Plasmodium

    B.

    Earthworm

    C.

    Amoeba

    D.

    Leishmania

    Correct option is B

    Correct Answer: (b) Earthworm

    Explanation:

    ·         Earthworm does not reproduce through asexual reproduction by fission. Earthworms are hermaphrodites (possessing both male and female reproductive organs) and reproduce sexually through the exchange of gametes during copulation.

    ·         They do not undergo fission, which is a form of asexual reproduction.

    Other Options:

    • Plasmodium: Plasmodium reproduces asexually through multiple fission during its lifecycle in the human liver and red blood cells.
    • Amoeba: Amoeba reproduces asexually through binary fission, where the parent cell splits into two daughter cells.
    • Leishmania: Leishmania reproduces asexually through binary fission, but the division occurs longitudinally (along the length of the organism).
