Question

explain binary fission.

Answer 1

Binary fission ("division in half") is a kind of asexual reproduction. It is the most common form of reproduction in prokaryotes and occurs in some single-celled eukaryotes. After replicating its genetic material, the cell divides into two nearly equal sized daughter cells.

Answer 2

Fission :-

• It is one type of a sexual reproduction which occurs in unicellular organisms.
• Many bacteria and protozoa simply split into two halves during cell division.
• In organisms like Amoeba, the splitting of two cells during division can take place in any plane.
• Whereas, some unicellular organisms like Leishmania which causes kala-azar, the binary fission occurs in definite orientation according to their structure.
• In yeast small buds grow that separate and grow further.
• In some single celled organisms, like the malarial parasite known as Plasmodium, Multiple Fission takes place where it divides into many daughter cells.
