Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Multiple fission : The process of reproduction in which many individuals are formed or produced from the parent cell.
In this process, the nucleus divides repeatedly to produce large number of nuclei. Each nucleus gathers a bit of cytoplasm around itself, develops a membrane around each structure. Many daughter cells develop which on liberation grow into adult organism.
Plasmodium exhibits this type of fission.
