Question

how does binary fission differ from multiple fission ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Binary fission

1. It occurs during favorable condition
2. The parent cell divides first through karyokinesis followed by cytokinesis and two daughter cells are produced
3. There is no cyst formation.

Multiple fission

1. It occurs during unfavorable condition.
2. The parent cell divides continuously through karyokinesis and cytokinesis does not occur immediately. Many daughter nuclei are formed in the parent cell.
3. The parent cell forms the cyst to protect the daughter nuclei, which is broken when the favorable conditions return.
