describe binary fission with neat diagram
Answers
Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction and the most common form of reproduction in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is a method of separating a body into two new bodies. In this, an organism duplicates its genetic material and divides into two parts where every new organism receives one copy of DNA.
It is a primary method of reproduction in prokaryotic organisms. Fission occurs without any spindle apparatus formation in the cell. Here, the single DNA molecule replicates first and then attaches each copy to the cell membrane’s different part. When the cell started to pulls apart, the original and replicated chromosomes get separated. This asexual process of reproduction has a consequence that all the cells are identical genetically which means that they follow the same genetic identities.
