Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Encystation
Explanation:
- In unfavorable conditions, an amoeba forms a three-layered hard covering around itself through a process known as encystation.
- This protective cyst allows the amoeba to survive harsh environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures, desiccation, or lack of food.
- When conditions become favorable again, the amoeba can exit the cyst and resume its normal activities.
