### process | fission:

Binary fission
* Most binary fission involves division.
* Some binary fission produces offspring.
* begins when the DNA of the cell is replicated.
* creates a clone of the parent cell.
* form of asexual reproduction in a single-celled organisms.
* is also the process by which multi-cellular organisms grow
  - an asexual reproduction process used by prokaryotes
  - extremely fast compared to the rates of cell division in eukaryotes
  - like mitosis
  - one of the most common method of reproduction in protozoan
  - similar to eukaryotic cell reproduction that involves mitosis
* is the division of one cell into two similar cells
  - easiest type of asexual reproduction
* is the form of asexual reproduction occurring in prokaryotes
  - cell division used by bacteria and archaea
  - main source of reproduction in eubacteria
* is the process by which a bacterial cell splits into two identical daughter cells
  - of asexual reproduction for prokaryotes only
  - prokaryotic analog of mitosis, but distinctly different process
* is the simplest form of asexual reproduction
* is used by most prokaryotes for asexual reproduction
  - very simple
* leads to exponential growth.
* means that the parent divides the body into.
* occurs in prokaryotes such as bacteria
  - under favourable environmental conditions
  - when a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells of the same size
* relatively simple cell division process that occurs in most prokaryotic cells.
* takes place with unequal division of nuclei.
* type of asexual reproduction common during good environmental conditions

### process | fission:

Nuclear fission
* Most nuclear fission produces heat.
* can produce heat without producing any polluting gases.
* creates radioactive waste.
* goes on all the time in uranium and plutonium.
* hazardous form of power on Earth, but much less hazardous in outer space.
* is just what it is, a piece of physics
  - natural to the earth
  - nuclear reaction
  - produced when an atomic atom is split
  - responsible for the release of energy in nuclear reactors and atomic bombs
* is the breakdown of large atomic nuclei into smaller elements
  - breaking apart of atomic nuclei into almost equal sized pieces
  - idea behind the atomic bomb
  - main process generating nuclear energy
  - most common technique to harness nuclear energy
  - only method currently used by nuclear plants to generate electricity
  - principal behind the atomic bomb
  - process in which large atoms break apart
  - reverse process to fusion
* is the splitting of a heavy element into smaller, lighter elements
  - atomic nuclei by neutron bombardment
  - the nucleus of a radioactive element into two smaller fragments
  - where a heavy atom spontaneously decays to two or more lighter elements
* means splitting an atom apart.
* occurs in atom bombs, and in controlled nuclear reactors
  - when neutrons collide with the nucleus of a uranium atom
* produces dangerous radioactive by-products
  - radioactivity and heat
* requires that atoms be smashed in accelerators which release their energy.
* supplies a much larger percentage of power in Europe.

Schizogony
* continues long after the forma- tion of gametes.
* is fission
  - present within macrophages in the splenic parenchyma
* occurs in endothelial cells of blood vessels
  - the liver
* takes place in one and sporogony in the other.
* takes place in the liver, heart, brain, spleen, lungs, lymph nodes and pancreas
  - lymphoid-macrophage cells of the spleen, bone marrow and liver
