Detailed explanation-1: -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: -The type of reproduction in which only a single parent is involved is called asexual reproduction. Binary fission is a method of asexual reproduction in which an animal reproduces by dividing itself into two individuals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Binary fission is a method of asexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic effects Binary fission is asexual; the organism splits directly into two equal-sized offsprings, each with a copy of the parent’s genetic material. Binary fission is a common type of reproduction in single-celled organisms.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
