No. You are confusing binary fission with nuclear fission. Binary fission occurs when a cell, usually a bacterium, divides into two cells. This is how bacteria reproduce. Nuclear fission is a process by which a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei. This process releases large amounts of energy.

Is binary fission a bacteria?

In biology, fission is the subdivision of a cell (or body, population, or species) into two or more parts and the regeneration of those parts into separate cells (bodies, populations, or species).Binary fission produces two separate cells, populations, species, etc.Bacteria is a prokaryote. Prokaryotes do reproduce asexually through binary fission.So binary fission is the means by which bacteria reproduce.

Binary fission


Bacteria divide to produce new cells using what processes?

Bacteria primarily divide through a process called binary fission, where the cell replicates its DNA and divides into two daughter cells. Some bacteria can also undergo other forms of cell division, such as budding or fragmentation.
