Explain fission with examples. Differentiate between binary and multiple fission. Draw a well labelled diagram of binary fission in amoeba.

Explanation

A mother cell divides itself to form two genetically identicalcells. This process is called binary fission.
A mother cell divides itself to form more than two genetically identical cells. This process is called multiple fission.
Asexual reproduction in which a mother splits or divides into two or more genetically similar offsprings is called fission. There are two types of fission.
a] Binary fission. b] Multiple fission.
An amoeba cell may divide itself into two daughter amoebae. This is binary fission. If more than two amoebae are formed it is called multiple fission.
