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.
Binary Fission, meaning ‘getting divided into half’ is a type of asexual reproduction where a single living cell grows twice its size and then splits to form two identical daughter cells, each carrying a copy of the parent cell’s genetic material.
Binary fission is a method of asexual reproduction . Unicellular organisms reproduce by this method. In this, a cell divides into two equal daughter cells.
