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.
Nuclear fission is an extreme example of large-amplitude collective motion that results in the division of a parent nucleus into two or more fragment nuclei. The fission process can occur spontaneously, or it can be induced by an incident particle."
Recent findings suggest that mitochondria undergo two distinct mechanisms of fission. In an elongated mitochondrial network, fission can occur either near the center (at the midzone) or towards one of the two ends (the periphery). Midzone and peripheral divisions appear to be associated with different cellular processes.
If a nuclear detonation were to occur, and you somehow avoided the searing bright flash, crushing blast wave, and incendiary fireball, Buddemeier says one simple thing could increase your odds of ...
The changes in balance between the rates of mitochondrial fission and fusion directly affect the wide range of mitochondrial lengths that can be observed in different cell types. Rapid fission and fusion of the mitochondria in cultured fibroblasts has been shown to promote the redistribution of mitochondrial green fluorescent protein (GFP) from ...
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 ...
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 ...
Nuclear fission is a substantial part of the world’s energy mix, but out in the broader universe, fission is much harder to come by. Until now.
