Binary fission



Multiple fission



In the binary fission process, the parent organism gets splits to form two daughter cells.



In multiple fission process, the parent organism gets splits into many new daughter cells.



Binary fission occurs in single celled organisms like Amoeba and occurs during normal conditions.



Multiple fission occurs in unfavorable conditions by forming a protective well around unicellular organisms such as in plasmodium.
