Most prokaryotes reproduce by a process of binary fission, in which the cell grows in volume until it divides in half to yield two identical daughter cells.
Prokaryotes reproduce principally by binary fission, in which the mother cell enlarges until it divides into two identical daughter cells, with cytokinesis representing the physical division into the two daughter cells.
Our model considers coccolith-bearing individuals multiplying by vegetative binary fission, in which a generation starts at the ontogenetic time, t = 0, and ends at t = T with the next binary fission.
(Binary fission, in which two equal daughter cells are produced from the unilateral growth and division of the mother cell, is typical of most bacteria).
That form can then multiply by binary fission, in different body fluids (blood, lymph), and can move to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), signaling the beginning of the second disease stage.
Strictly speaking, the only type of reproduction in Paramecium is asexual binary fission in which a fully grown organism divides into two daughter cells.
Plastids undergo a process of binary fission in order to replicate.
Bacterial cells dividing by binary fission in laboratory culture increase in size when nutrients are abundant (Henrici 1928), a phenomenon that has been well analyzed genetically (for review see, Chien et al. 2012).
RBs replicate by binary fission until in the final stage of infection, RBs re-differentiate to EBs before release of the new, infectious progeny (Cocchiaro and Valdivia, 2009).
T. brucei sspp replicate by binary fission and, in the infected mammals, long-slender bloodstream forms use antigenic variation of their surface protein coat to effectively evade elimination of the population by the host immune system.
