Question

Name the following:

Splitting of a unicellular organism to form two organisms.

Answer 1

Binary fission:

1. Binary fission is the process by which two daughter cells of roughly equal size are formed by the splitting of the parent cell.
2. It is commonly seen in unicellular organisms like bacteria and algae.
3. First, the DNA of the parent cell gets replicated and splits into two.
4. The daughter cells are then formed from the parent cell by the appearance of the constriction in the middle.
