Difference between Fragmentation and Fission
No. | Fragmentation |
Fission |
1. | Fragmentation is defined as the process where the organism breaks up into two or more pieces on maturing, And grows to form a complete new organism. | Fission is defined as the process where an organism splits to form two or more new organisms. |
2. | Fragmentation takes place in multicellular organisms. | Fission takes place in unicellular organisms. |
3. | In the fragmentation process, daughter cells are normally Multicellular. | In the fission process, daughter organisms are generally unicellular. |
4. | In the fragmentation process, nuclear division does not takes part. | In the fission process, nuclear division takes part. |
5. | In the fragmentation process, parent organism forms daughter organism | In the fission process, parent cell divides and forms two daughter cells. |
6. | Fragmentation process takes place in multicellular organisms such as plants, sea stars, molds, planarians and spirogyra. | Fission process takes place in unicellular organisms such as amoeba and bacteria. |
7. | Fragmentation process is useful for mass spectrometry identification of structure and molar weight of a molecule. | Fission process is useful for the production of nuclear power. |
