Question

differentiate between binary fission and multiple fission​

Answer 1

Binary fission:

*The parent cell divides into two daughter cells and grows;

*This form of asexual reproduction is observed in Amoeba and most of the bacteria.

Multiple fission:

*The parent cell divides into more than two daughter cells and develops;

*It is observed in plasmodium ( malarial parasite).

Answer 2

Answer:

When a single cell divides into two equal halves, it is known as binary fission. Bacteria and amoeba are the examples of binary fission.

When a single cell divides into multiple daughter cells at the same time, it is known as multiple fission. Algae and sporozoans are the examples of multiple fission.
