  2. Fission (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission_(biology)

    The object experiencing fission is usually a cell, but the term may also refer to how organisms, bodies, populations, or species split into discrete parts. [1] [2] [3] The fission may be binary fission, in which a single organism produces two parts, or multiple fission, in which a single entity produces multiple parts.

  3. Amitosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amitosis

    Amitosis, also known as karyostenosis, direct cell division, or binary fission, is a form of asexual cell division primarily observed in bacteria and other prokaryotes. This process is distinct from other cell division mechanisms such as mitosis and meiosis , mainly because it bypasses the complexities associated with the mitotic apparatus ...

  4. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    The cell cycle in eukaryotes: I = Interphase, M = Mitosis, G 0 = Gap 0, G 1 = Gap 1, G 2 = Gap 2, S = Synthesis, G 3 = Gap 3. Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells. [1] Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle in which the cell

  5. Asexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

    Multiple fission at the cellular level occurs in many protists, e.g. sporozoans and algae. The nucleus of the parent cell divides several times by mitosis, producing several nuclei. The cytoplasm then separates, creating multiple daughter cells. [5] [6] [7] In apicomplexans, multiple fission, or schizogony appears either as merogony, sporogony ...

  6. Euglena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euglena

    Euglena reproduce asexually through binary fission, a form of cell division. Reproduction begins with the mitosis of the cell nucleus , followed by the division of the cell itself. Euglena divide longitudinally, beginning at the front end of the cell, with the duplication of flagellar processes, gullet and stigma.

  7. Cell biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_biology

    Eukaryotic cells are found in plants, animals, fungi, and protists. They range from 10 to 100 μm in diameter, and their DNA is contained within a membrane-bound nucleus. Eukaryotes are organisms containing eukaryotic cells. The four eukaryotic kingdoms are Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista. [12] They both reproduce through binary fission.

  8. Leishmania donovani - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leishmania_donovani

    Inside the cells they undergo spontaneous transformation into oval-shaped amastigotes. [22] [23] Granulocytes selectively kill the promastigotes by oxidative mechanism, while amastigotes are resistant. [24] Then the surviving amastigotes undergo cell division using simple binary fission. Multiplication continues until the host cell can no ...

  9. Ciliate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciliate

    The cell then divides in two, and each new cell obtains a copy of the micronucleus and the macronucleus. Ciliate undergoing the last processes of binary fission Division of ciliate Colpidium Typically, the cell is divided transversally, with the anterior half of the ciliate (the proter ) forming one new organism, and the posterior half (the ...
