Fission primarily refers to a type of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes, such as bacteria, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This process is called binary fission and is the most common means of reproduction for prokaryotic organisms. In contrast, the term "fission" is also used in the context of nuclear fission, which is unrelated to biological processes and does not involve prokaryotes.
Binary fission is the process of cell division in prokaryotes, where a single cell divides into two daughter cells. This process allows prokaryotic organisms to replicate rapidly and increase their population size.
the way prokaryotes reproduce
Prokaryotes divide through a process called binary fission. During binary fission, the prokaryotic cell replicates its DNA, then divides into two identical daughter cells. This process allows prokaryotes to reproduce rapidly and efficiently.
Processes that do not involve the replication of chromosomes include meiosis and binary fission. In meiosis, chromosomes undergo recombination and separation without additional replication after the initial round. Binary fission, seen in prokaryotes, involves the division of a cell into two without the replication of its chromosomes before division. Additionally, processes like transcription and translation focus on gene expression rather than chromosome replication.

the way prokaryotes reproduce
Cell division in prokaryotes is called binary fission. During binary fission, the cell's DNA is duplicated and the cell divides into two daughter cells, each containing a copy of the genetic material.
