Binary fission, asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies, in the process of binary fission, an organism DUPLICATES it's genetic material, or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and then divides into two parts (cytokinesis), with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA.

Definition

• binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a single living cell or an organelle grows twice its size and then splits into two identical daughter cells, where each of these daughter cells has the original cell or organelle .

• Binary fission differs from other types of fission in that, only two parts are formed from a single ENTITY.

• the form of reproduction is called asexual as the process doesn't involve the formation or fission of gametes.

examples

In protozoans like amoeba, paramecium, Euglena, however the process might differ in cell splitting and in how the cytoplasm divides, organism that reproduce by binary fission include bacillus subtilis, B.
