Question

definition binary fission​

Answer 1

ANSWER :-

Definition of Binary Fission-

Binary fission is referred to as the mode or process or method of reproduction in which the cell gets divided into two halves by the help of a constriction.

Extra Information-

• The two halves of the cell that are formed through the process of binary fission, are capable of growing into two separate independent individual organisms.
• Binary fission is the most common type of reproduction in bacteria.
• Binary fission occurs in bacteria when the environmental conditions are favourable.
• While the parent cell is getting divided into two halves by the help of a constriction, at the same time, the nuclear material in the parent cell gets elongated and divided into two equal halves.
• The process of elongation of the nuclear material of the parent cell and its division into two equal halves is found to be most probably helped by the mesosomes.
