Question

How does binary fission differ from multiple fission?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In binary fission, the parent cell divides itself into two equal and identical daughter cells. It is the most common form of reproduction in prokaryotes such as bacteria. In multiple fission, a single parent cell is divided into many daughter cells.

Answer 2

Required Answer:

Binary fission:

A mode of asexual reproduction in which an organism seperates into two parts and both parts carries their own genetic material is known as binary fission.

• DNA replication occurs in binary fission simultaneously.
• Common examples of binary fission are bacteria and amoeba.

Multiple fission:

The mode of asexual reproduction in which a parent cell produce multiple number of daughter cells is known as multiple fission.

• In multiple fission, a parent cell produce daughter cells of nearly equal sized.
• Examples of multiple fission are algae and plasmodium.
