Write a short note on binary …

In binary fission, the parent cell divides itself into two equal and identical daughter cells. It is the most common form of reproduction in prokaryotes such as bacteria.
Binary Fission in amoeba: Most single-celled organisms use the method of binary fission for cell division and reproduction. These include paramoecium, bacterium, and finally amoeba. In this paragraph, we will be focusing on amoeba’s cell division which is also its method of reproduction. In binary fission, the amoeba consists of one parent which forms the 2 daughter cells. First, the amoeba cell undergoes nuclear division and replicates into two nuclei. The two nuclei divide and move to opposite directions in the parent cell. The cell then produces proteins and nutrients in preparation for binary fission. In the stage of binary fission, the cell divides and forms 2 daughter cells. This process generally occurs when environmental conditions are most favorable. That is when there is enough food, water, and a favorable temperature.
