amoeba is immortal, explain .

amoeba can be said immortal becoz the organism showing binary fission seldom  [never ] die of senesence or old age becoz as soon as they mature , they divide into two daughter cells. they are therefore nearly immortal.

thanks .................

but want with some more description.

Many single celled organisms reproduce by binary fission, where a cell divides into two halves and each rapidly grows into an adult. There is no natural death to organisms which undergo binary fission. There is no remains of parent body cell and parent cannot be said to have died. In fact, after binary fission parent continues to live as two daughter individuals. That is why, they are said to be immortal

amoeba is not really immortal. it ios because if we want to kill him we can do so. he just cant ony die from age.

@ divya... actually here we r talking about the natural death...

n there is no natural death of amoeba... so it could be said immortal... dats a differnt thing if we make it dead.

 when cell divides into two halves and each rapidly grows into an adult. There is no natural death to organisms which undergo binary fission. as soon as they mature , they divide into two daughter cells. There is no remains of parent body cell and parent cannot be said to have died. In fact, after binary fission parent continues to live as two daughter individuals. That is why, they are said to be immortal.

hope it may help u... cheers..!! :)

amoeba is immortal means it doesn't die naturally bt the parent amoeba undergo binary fission n divided into two daughter cells ,,,, therefore , it doen't die

 thanks to all   ..............
