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: -Prokaryotes reproduce through a cell division process called binary fission.

Detailed explanation-3: -Binary fission is an asexual reproductive method found mostly in prokaryotes and a few single-celled eukaryotes. In binary fission, the nucleus of a cell divides first which is then followed by the division of the cytoplasm to form two new daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is binary fission? Bacterial binary fission is the process that bacteria use to carry out cell division. Binary fission is similar in concept to the mitosis that happens in multicellular organisms (such as plants and animals), but its purpose is different.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
