What is binary fission and how does it relate/compare to mitosis or meiosis?

Solution

BINARY FISSION-   It is a kind of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes and some single celled eukarotes like amoeba.

In binary fission, after replicating parent cells genetic material,the parent cell equally divides into two identical sized daughter cells.The genetical material also are equally devided into two new daughter cells.

BINARY FISSION AND MITOSIS

Both are asexual form of reproduction that devide the genetic material into daughter cells and split parent cells into two cells(daughter cells).

Binary fission ocurred in some procaryotes and some single celled eukaryotes like amoeba.whereas, mitosis is found in eukaroytes to reproduce the nucleus.

Binary fission does not have the four distinct cellular phases (G1 down to final mitotic) that are seen in mitosis.

BINARY FISSION AND MIOSIS

Binary fission ocurred in some procaryotes and some single celled eukaryotes like amoeba.whereas, meiosis is found in eukaroytes .

binary fission is asexual type of reproduction whereas meiosis is sexual type of reproduction that reduce the no of chromosome in reproductive cells from diploid to haploid, leading to the production of gamets.
