Detailed explanation-1: -What is Binary Fission? Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction typically observed in prokaryotes and a few single-celled eukaryotes. In this method of asexual reproduction, there is a separation of the parent cell into two new daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Binary fission is a type of asexual mode of reproduction. In binary fission, the nucleus of the parent cell divides followed by cytoplasmic division and ultimately two new daughter cells are formed. It is seen in unicellular organisms such as amoeba, paramecium etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -Organisms like the amoeba, bacteria, euglena, etc., exhibit binary fission. During multiple fission, organism divides itself into numerous daughter cells. Examples of multiple fission are sporozoans and algae.

Detailed explanation-4: -Binary fission is a method of asexual reproduction.
