Question

Difference between fission and fragmentation in 5 points.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The main difference between fission and fragmentation is that in fission, a parent cell splits into daughter cells, whereas, in fragmentation, a parent organism breaks into fragments, developing a new organism. Furthermore, fission occurs in unicellular organisms such as protists and bacteria while fragmentation occurs in multicellular organisms such as plants and Spirogyra.

Fission and fragmentation are two methods of asexual reproduction carried out by eukaryotes of lower organization and prokaryotes. The other type of asexual reproduction is budding, which is chiefly exhibited by yeast.

Answer 2

Fission is of 2 types... binary and multiple fission...

eg. of binary: amoeba

eg of multiple fission: plasmodium

divided into daughter cells from its own body

after division .. no parent body present

fragmentation is the process where organism make their own fragments..

it can be divided into many bodies and can grow from it when cut...
