  1. Fission (biology) - Wikipedia

    • 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. The fission may be binary fission, in which a single organism produces two part…

    Binary fission

    Organisms in the domains of Archaea and Bacteria reproduce with binary fission. This form of asexual reproduction and
    The … See more

    Multiple fission

    Multiple fission at the cellular level occurs in many protists, e.g. sporozoans and algae. The nucleus of the parent cell divides several times by amitosis, producing several nuclei. The cytoplasm then separates, … See more

    Plasmotomy

    Some protozoans reproduce by yet another mechanism of fission called plasmotomy. In this type of fission, a multinucleate adult parent undergoes cytokinesis to form two multinucleate (or coenocytic) daughter cells. The d… See more

    Clonal fragmentation

    Fragmentation in multicellular or colonial organisms is a form of asexual reproduction or cloning, where an organism is split into fragments. Each of these fragments develop into mature, fully grown individuals that are clo… See more

    Population fission

    Any splitting of a single population of individuals into discrete parts may be considered fission. A population may undergo fission process for a variety of reasons, including migration or geographic isolation. Si… See more
