  2. Autospore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autospore

    Fission in the mitotic phase of cell division of green algae forms autospores. Cells may use different methods to produce different numbers of autospores or multinucleated autospores; for example, the Dictyochloropsis genus of algae can produce between 4 and 16 autospores when they reproduce.

  3. Fission (biology) - Wikipedia

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

    Binary fission is generally rapid, though its speed varies between species. For E. coli, cells typically divide about every 20 minutes at 37 °C. [11] Because the new cells will, in turn, undergo binary fission on their own, the time binary fission requires is also the time the bacterial culture requires to double in the number of cells it ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Diatom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatom

    Reproduction among these organisms is asexual by binary fission, during which the diatom divides into two parts, producing two "new" diatoms with identical genes. Each new organism receives one of the two frustules – one larger, the other smaller – possessed by the parent, which is now called the epitheca ; and is used to construct a second ...

  6. Closterium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closterium

    Asexual: binary fission from a partitioned parent cell. Sexual: Conjugation to form a hypnozygote. The Closterium peracerosum-strigosum-littorale (C. psl) complex is a unicellular, isogamous charophycean alga cells that is the closest unicellular relative to land plants. These algae are capable of forming two types of dormant diploid zygospores.

  7. 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.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Ciliate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciliate

    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 opisthe) forming another. However, other types of fission occur in some ciliate groups.
