difference between binary fission and regeneration
Answers
Explanation:
Binary fission, a form of reproduction that bacterial cells undergo, is the process by which the cell divides into two equal daughter cells that have identical genetic information. Regeneration is a type of asexual reproduction in which the organism is capable of regrowing certain body parts.
Explanation:
The key difference between binary fission and budding is that the binary fission involves splitting of the parent cell into two parts by mitotic cell division followed by cytokinesis without the formation of an outgrowth or a bud while budding involves the formation of a bud or an outgrowth from the parent cell.
Asexual reproduction is one of the two types of reproduction in which offspring arises from a single parent. It does not involve two parents or fusion of two types of gametes or meiosis. Hence, the offspring are genetically identical to the parent and they are clones. Asexual reproduction is common among the prokaryotes and in some single-celled and multicellular eukaryotes. There are different asexual methods such as binary fission, budding, regeneration, parthenogenesis, etc.
Binary fission is a simple asexual reproduction method that involves mitosis followed by the splitting of a parent individual into two equal halves. It is very common among prokaryotes mainly in bacteria and archaea. At the end of the binary fission process, two offsprings result which are genetically and phenotypically identical.
