Hi

Thanks for your question.

Transverse Binary fission is the type of asexual reproduction and cell division used by all prokaryotes, some protozoa, and some organelles surrounded by eukaryotic organisms.

In the process of binary fission, an organism duplicates its genetic material, or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and then divides into two parts (cytokinesis), with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA. ... Many prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria reproduce by the process of binary fission.

Paramecium (also Paramoecium ) is a genus of unicellular ciliates, commonly studied as a representative of the ciliate group.

Paramecium reproduces asexually, by binary fission. During reproduction, the macronucleus splits by a type of amitosis, and the micronuclei undergo mitosis. The cell then divides transversally, and each new cell obtains a copy of the micronucleus and the macronucleus.

Hope it helps you
