What is multiple fission?


Open in App
Solution

Multiple Fission:

  1. The process of asexual reproduction in which many daughter cells are produced from the parent cell instead of two daughter cells is called multiple fission.
  2. During this process, the nucleus is repeatedly divided to generate a large number of nuclei.
  3. A small amount of cytoplasm is absorbed by each nucleus, and then a membrane is formed around each structure.
  4. The dimensions of all the daughter cells formed are similar and identical.
  5. It is commonly observed in organisms such as Plasmodium.
