Choose whether the given statement is true or false:

As a result of binary fission, each parent amoeba gives rise to four daughter amoebae.

The given statement is false.

Amoeba is a single-celled organism that reproduces asexually. One parent amoeba initiates the process of reproduction by the division of its nucleus into two nuclei. Thereafter, the whole cell divides into two, each of which receives a nucleus. This results in the formation of two daughter amoebae. This method of asexual reproduction is called binary fission. 

The correct statement is "As a result of binary fission, one parent amoeba gives rise to two daughter amoebae."
