MICROANATOMY

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: -Clonal Fragmentation in multicellular or colonial organisms is a form of asexual reproduction or cloning where an organism is split into fragments. Each of these fragments develop into mature, fully grown individuals that are clones of the original organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction in single-celled eukaryotes involves mitosis, i.e., duplication of chromosomes and cytoplasm to produce “twin cells” in the process of cell division (Figure 2.16).

Detailed explanation-4: -Binary fission occurs when a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells of the same size.
