30. Amoeba multiplies by mitotic cell division. Is this phenomena growth or reproduction? Explain


In amoeba, the reproduction is synchronous with the growth. Amoeba is a single celled organism in which the increase in the number of cells or mass is considered to be growth as well as reproduction. After mitosis, there is no growth in size rather two new organisms are formed. The parent divides into two and forms two new daughter cells. Hence formation of new cells is considered to be reproduction.
