(N/A) Fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single-celled organism divides into two or more daughter cells.
$1$. Binary Fission: In this process,the parent cell divides into two equal halves,each of which grows into an adult organism. Examples include $Amoeba$ and $Paramecium$.
$2$. Multiple Fission: In this process,the parent cell divides into many daughter cells simultaneously. This often occurs under unfavorable conditions,where the organism forms a cyst. An example is $Plasmodium$.
Note: The provided image illustrates budding in yeast,which is a different mode of asexual reproduction where a small outgrowth (bud) develops on the parent cell and eventually detaches to form a new individual.
