Binary Fission

Asexual reproduction where one cell divides into two identical cells
Real World Example
Imagine you're preparing dinner and need to evenly split a large pizza into two identical halves. This task relates to binary fission, where a single cell divides into two identical cells, much like how you split the pizza into two equal parts. Just as the pizza halves are mirror images, each new cell produced during binary fission is an identical copy of the original, ensuring that each "slice" or cell retains the same "ingredients" or genetic material as the original.
