Fission :: Fission (n.) A method of asexual reproduction among the lowest (unicellular) organisms by means of a process of self-division, consisting of gradual division or cleavage of the into two parts, each of which then becomes a separate and independent organisms; as when a cell in an animal or plant, or its germ, undergoes a spontaneous division, and the parts again subdivide. See Segmentation, and Cell division, under Division..

Schizogenesis :: Schizogenesis (n.) Reproduction by fission.

Individual :: Individual (n.) The product of a single egg, whether it remains a single animal or becomes compound by budding or fission..

Schizomycetes :: Schizomycetes (n. pl.) An order of Schizophyta, including the so-called fission fungi, or bacteria. See Schizophyta, in the Supplement..

Fissipation :: Fissipation (n.) Reproduction by fission; fissiparism.

Fissiparous :: Fissiparous (a.) Reproducing by spontaneous fission. See Fission.

Fission :: Fission (n.) A cleaving, splitting, or breaking up into parts..

Fissiparism :: Fissiparism (n.) Reproduction by spontaneous fission.

Fissigemmation :: Fissigemmation (n.) A process of reproduction intermediate between fission and gemmation.

Holoblastic :: Holoblastic (a.) Undergoing complete segmentation; composed entirely of germinal matter, the whole of the yolk undergoing fission; -- opposed to meroblastic..

Leptothrix :: Leptothrix (n.) Having the form of a little chain; -- applied to bacteria when, as in multiplication by fission, they form a chain of filiform individuals..
