Write a short note on Binary fission.
(N/A) Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a parent cell divides into two equal-sized daughter cells.
$1$. It is commonly observed in organisms like Protists (e.g.,Amoeba) and Monerans (e.g.,Bacteria).
$2$. The process begins with the replication of genetic material followed by the division of the nucleus (karyokinesis).
$3$. This is followed by the division of the cytoplasm (cytokinesis).
$4$. Finally,two identical daughter cells are formed,which grow into mature individuals.
