Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction observed mostly in unicellular organisms. It involves the longitudinal or transverse splitting of an organism into two equal halves which develop into two separate individuals.
Binary fission is generally seen in organisms such as amoeba and paramecium falling into the category of protozoa. Amoeba is a simple, unicellular organism which reproduces by binary fission. The division begins with the division of nucleus followed by protoplasmic division.
Binary fission can also be observed in multicellular animals like sea anemones and planarians.
