METAZOAN FISSION. “A few metazoan (multicellular) species regularly undergo a body division into several units simultaneously, a process called fragmentation. Planarian fission and fragmentation generally represent direct reproduction in which each portion regenerates missing parts to become a complete new animal. Strobilation products, however, are only indirectly reproductive: proglottids are not regenerative but carry and release great numbers of eggs and die; ephyrae do not produce new polyps but mature into sexually reproducing medusae, the larvae of which become polyps.” https://lnkd.in/dkDex6F View in LinkedIn

HYBRID PHENOTYPE COMPLEXITY. "Natural hybridization frequently promotes gene introgression among closely related species in sympatric populations, producing complex patterns of morphological variation." https://lnkd.in/dkD3erC View in LinkedIn

FISSION ACROSS TAXA. “Regular transverse fission in some organisms, such as tapeworms and scyphostome polyps, is called strobilation. Commonly, this results in a chain, called a strobilus, of the fission products—the proglottids of tapeworms and the ephyrae of scyphozoan jellyfish; each proglottid or ephyra matures in turn and separates from the end of the strobilus.” https://lnkd.in/dkDex6F View in LinkedIn

ASEXUAL BINARY FISSION is where every organ is copied as the cell divides in two. Examples include bacteria and protists. “Binary fission, asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies. In the process of binary fission, an organism duplicates its genetic material, or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and then divides into two parts (cytokinesis), with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA.” https://lnkd.in/dkDex6F View in LinkedIn

ANCIENT METHOD. "Organisms in the domains of Archaea and Bacteria reproduce with binary fission." https://lnkd.in/dwsn3wd) View in LinkedIn

FISSION. "In other organisms, part of the individual separates, forming a second individual. This process occurs, for example, in many asteroid echinoderms through splitting of the central disk. Some sea anemones and some coral polyps also reproduce through fission." https://lnkd.in/d_e3R-w View in LinkedIn

HYDRA VS CORAL BUDDING. "In hydras, a bud forms that develops into an adult, which breaks away from the main body; whereas in coral budding, the bud does not detach and multiplies as part of a new colony." https://lnkd.in/d_e3R-w View in LinkedIn

"BUDDING is a form of asexual reproduction that results from the outgrowth of a part of a cell or body region leading to a separation from the original organism into two individuals. Budding occurs commonly in some invertebrate animals such as corals and hydras." https://lnkd.in/d_e3R-w View in LinkedIn

BUDDING FISSION. "Some other bacterial lineages reproduce by budding." https://lnkd.in/eqsJf6Q View in LinkedIn

BALLOON FISSION. "There are groups of bacteria that use unusual forms or patterns of cell division to reproduce. Some of these bacteria grow to more than twice their starting cell size and then use multiple divisions to produce multiple offspring cells." https://lnkd.in/eqsJf6Q View in LinkedIn
