Detailed explanation-1: -In the process of binary fission the parent organism divides into two halves. Each half forms an independent daughter organism. Binary fission involves mitosis. Here, the resultant offsprings are genetically identical to the parent and to each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In the process of binary fission, an organism duplicates its genetic material, or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and then divides into two parts (cytokinesis), with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA. Binary fission is the primary method of reproduction of prokaryotic organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Amoeba Reproduction-Binary Fission in Amoeba After replicating its genetic material through mitotic division, the cell divides into two equal-sized daughter cells. In this method, two similar individuals are produced from a single parent cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Protozoa are examples of eukaryotes that can reproduce by binary fission. Mitochondria, one of the major organelles in eukaryotic cells, divide by binary fission.
