  2. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosymbiont

    Instead, they replicate via binary fission, a replication process uncoupled from the host cells in which they reside. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] Some human parasites, e.g. Wuchereria bancrofti and Mansonella perstans , thrive in their intermediate insect hosts because of an obligate endosymbiosis with Wolbachia spp. [ 12 ] They can both be eliminated by ...

  4. Paramecium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramecium

    Paramecium reproduction is asexual, by binary fission, which has been characterized as "the sole mode of reproduction in ciliates" (conjugation being a sexual phenomenon, not directly resulting in increase of numbers). [3] [32] During fission, the macronucleus splits by a type of amitosis, and the micronuclei undergo mitosis. The cell then ...

  5. Paramecium caudatum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramecium_caudatum

    Paramecia reproduce asexually, by binary fission. During reproduction, the macronucleus splits by a type of amitosis, and the micronuclei undergo mitosis. The cell then divides transversally, and each new cell obtains a copy of the micronucleus and the macronucleus. [10] Fission may occur as part of the normal vegetative cell cycle.

  6. Bacterial growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_growth

    Bacterial growth is proliferation of bacterium into two daughter cells, in a process called binary fission. Providing no mutation event occurs, the resulting daughter cells are genetically identical to the original cell. Hence, bacterial growth occurs. Both daughter cells from the division do not necessarily survive.

  8. 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.
