Question

explain binary fission
fast​

Answer 1

Binary fission, asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies. In the process of binary fission, an organism duplicates its genetic material, or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and then divides into two parts (cytokinesis), with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA.

For Example = Yeast

Answer 2

Answer:

Fission, in biology, is the division of a single entity into two or more parts and the regeneration of those parts to separate entities resembling the original. The object experiencing fission is usually a cell, but the term may also refer to how organisms, bodies, populations, or species split into discrete parts.

Binary fission ("division in half") is a kind of asexual reproduction. ... In binary fission, the fully grown parent cell splits into two halves, producing two pools. After replicating its genetic material, the parent cell divides into two equal sized daughter cells. The genetic material is replicated, then equally split.

The advantages of binary fission are that:

it is fast (approximately 20 min generation time for some bacteria in optimal conditions)

it only requires a single organism (sexual reproduction requires two organisms)
