What is fission?
A
Your ability to see
B
When you go fishing
C
Form of sexual reproduction
D
Form of asexual reproduction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -binary fission, asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fission. In fission (or binary fission), a parent separates into two or more individuals of about equal size. This type of reproduction is common among single-celled organisms, including bacteria, archaea, and unicellular eukaryotes, such as protists and some fungi. The single cell divides into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Multiple fission-This type of reproduction at the cellular level occurs in many protists, e.g. sporozoans and algae. The nucleus of the parent cell divides several times producing several nuclei. The cytoplasm then separates, creating multiple daughter cells, each with one nuclei.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fission occurs when a neutron slams into a larger atom, forcing it to excite and split into two smaller atoms-also known as fission products. Additional neutrons are also released that can initiate a chain reaction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fission, in biology, is the division of a single entity into two or more parts and the regeneration of those parts into separate entities resembling the original. The object experiencing fission is usually a cell, but the term may also refer to how organisms, bodies, populations, or species split into discrete parts.
