Binary fission

Biological process

'Binary fission ("division in half") is a kind of asexual reproduction. It is the most common form of reproduction in prokaryotes such as bacteria. This process occurs in some single-celled Eukaryotes like Amoeba and Paramecium. In binary fission DNA replication and segregation occur simultaneously. [1]

In binary fission, the fully grown parent cell splits into two halves , producing two new cells. After replicating its genetic material, the parent cell divides into two equal sized daughter cells. The genetic material is also equally split. The daughter cells are genetically identical (unless a mutation occurs during replication).

During binary fission, the DNA molecule divides and forms two DNA molecules. Each molecule moves towards the opposite side of the bacterium. At the same time, the cell membrane divides to form 2 daughter cells. After division, the new cells grow and the process repeats itself.

Mitosis is a part of the cell cycle when replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei. In general, mitosis (division of the nucleus) is preceded by the S stage of interphase (during which the DNA is replicated) and is often accompanied or followed by cytokinesis, which divides the cytoplasm, organelles and cell membrane into two new cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components. Mitosis and cytokinesis together define the mitotic(M) phase of an animal cell cycle—the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells genetically identical to each other.

the term binary fission literary means splitting into two.it is the most common method of asexual reproduction in which organisms splits into two smaller organisms .unicellular organisms like algae, bacteria and fungi reproduce by binary fission.
