Cell Division: Fission

5. In multiple fission, a cell is produced that has multiple ____.

nuclei

2. Binary fission is the most common form of reproduction in ____.

protozoa

colony

a group of organisms attached to one another after undergoing asexual reproduction from a common parent

fragmentation

a phenomenon in which organisms break into two or more parts and then each part grows into a new ndividual

cytokinesis

the part of the cell division that causes the separation of the cytoplasm

mitosis

the process involving the division of the nucleus of a body cell

8. ____ occurs when offspring arise as a contiguous outgrowth of the parent.

Budding

4. Number the Steps in correct order.

Step 1: Genetic material duplicates. Step 2: Cell grows in size and other organelles duplicate. Step 3: Cell wall or membrane forms. Step 4: Cells separate.

binary fission

asexual reproduction in which a single cell divides into two with no exchange of genetic material; reproduction method of bacteria

multiple fission

asexual reproduction in which a single cell undergoes many mitotic divisions in the nucleus and a number of daughter cells are produced all at once

budding

asexual reproduction involving the growth of a new individual from part of an older organism; uneven distribution of cytoplasm that results in one cell receiving most of the cell contents

1. Prokaryotic cells reproduce by ____.

binary fission

3. This type of asexual reproduction occurs when a single celled organism divides into two organisms.

binary fission

7. When an organism of many cells breaks up into two or more parts and these parts survive to produce a new organism, reproduction occurs by ____.

fragmentation

6. When a parent cell makes several nuclei and divides to make several daughter cells, it is called ____.

multiple fission
