The NINDS supports research on disorders of the brain and nervous system such as Chiari malformations. The goals of this research are to increase scientific understanding of these disorders and to find ways to prevent, treat, and, ultimately, cure them.
Organisms in the domains of Archaea and Bacteria reproduce with binary fission. This form of asexual reproduction and cell division is also used by some organelles within eukaryotic organisms (e.g., mitochondria). Binary fission results in the reproduction of a living prokaryotic cell (or organelle) by dividing the cell into two parts, each with the potential to grow to the size of the original.
Asexual reproduction results from mitotic cell division (mitosis). During asexual reproduction, one cell, called the parent cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. The new organisms, called offspring, are genetically identical to the parent cell.There is no fusing (joining) of cells in this type of reproduction.Asexual reproduction is more common in invertebrate animals than in vertebrate animals. Unicellular and multicellular plants can reproduce both asexually and sexually.inary fission is the simplest type of asexual reproduction. During binary fission, a one.celled organism divides by mitosis to form two daughter cells of equal size. Both the nucleus and the cytoplasm divide equally. The chromosomes of the offspring are identical to that of the parent.
