Binary Fission

As already mentioned above, bacterial fission entails chromosomal replication, chromosomal segregation, and cell splitting. Another group of organisms that reproduce by binary fission is the protozoa. In a protozoan fission, the process is analogous as it entails related elementary phases. However, protozoa differ from prokaryotes in having mitochondria that need to be duplicated and divided as nicely. For instance, in amoebae, cytokinesis takes place alongside any airplane. Prokaryotic Binary Fission While binary fission is for reproductive functions mitosis is primarily for development in multicellular organisms. The genetic materials is replicated prior to mitosis whereas this stage happens as part of binary fission. Furthermore, spindle fibers are one of the features that outline mitosis. The spindle fibers connect to the chromosomes to move and divide the chromosomes into two equal units at opposite poles. The new cells from mitosis won't be a model new individual as it i...
