At the end of every binary fission two identical cells are produced. It happens in the process of asexual reproduction where the body of a cell is separated to form two new identical bodies. This process usually happens in prokaryotic organisms. An organism duplicates its genetic material (DNA) and then it is divided into two parts where each new organism receives a copy of DNA. Some prokaryotic organisms are capable of dividing their body into several units, to become a complete new animal.
