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

Monogenesis :: Monogenesis (n.) That form of reproduction which requires but one parent, as in reproduction by fission or in the formation of buds, etc., which drop off and form new individuals; asexual reproduction..

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

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

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

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..

Fission :: Fission (n.) A process by which certain coral polyps, echinoderms, annelids, etc., spontaneously subdivide, each individual thus forming two or more new ones. See Strobilation..

Encystment :: Encystment (n.) A process which, among some of the lower forms of life, precedes reproduction by budding, fission, spore formation, etc..

Pseudofilaria :: Pseudofilaria (n.) One of the two elongated vibratile young formed by fission of the embryo during the development of certain Gregarinae.

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

Bacterium :: Bacterium (n.) A microscopic vegetable organism, belonging to the class Algae, usually in the form of a jointed rodlike filament, and found in putrefying organic infusions. Bacteria are destitute of chlorophyll, and are the smallest of microscopic organisms. They are very widely diffused in nature, and multiply with marvelous rapidity, both by fission and by spores. Certain species are active agents in fermentation, while others appear to be the cause of certain infectious diseases. See Bacillus

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

Fissipara :: Fissipara (n. pl.) Animals which reproduce by fission.

Sporid :: Spore (n.) One of the parts formed by fission in certain Protozoa. See Spore formation, belw..

Diffission :: Diffission (n.) Act of cleaving or splitting.

Meroblastic :: Meroblastic (a.) Consisting only in part of germinal matter; characterized by partial segmentation only; as, meroblastic ova, in which a portion of the yolk only undergoes fission; meroblastic segmentation; -- opposed to holoblastic..

Strobile :: Strobilation (n.) The act or phenomenon of spontaneously dividing transversely, as do certain species of annelids and helminths; transverse fission. See Illust. under Syllidian..

Schizo- :: Schizo- () A combining form denoting division or cleavage; as, schizogenesis, reproduction by fission or cell division..
