Briefly discuss different types of fission in organisms.

Explanation

Fission It is the phenomenon of division of the parent
body into two or more daughter individuals.
Fission can be of following types
(i) Binary fission It is the type of fission in which parent body divides into two small, nearly equal sized daughter individuals. Each grows into an adult, e.g. Amoeba, Paramecium, etc.
(ii) Multiple fission It is the type of fission in which parent body divides into many small daughter individuals simultaneously, e.g. Plasmodium (the malarial parasite), Amoeba (during unfavourable conditions).
