Binary fission is the division of one parent cell into two identical daughter cells. It takes place in Amoeba Paramecium Euglena and other protozoa. In multiple fission one single celled organism divides into many daughter cells within a cyst. These are released when the cyst breaks. This takes place in Plasmodium malarial parasite.
