Schizotomy
In biology, schizotomy (division into two) is the division of a mother cell into two genetically identical daughter cells in single cells by simple mitotic division. The mother cell is completely divided between two daughter cells. This is the simplest form of vegetative reproduction . Schizotomy differs from cell sprouting because in this case the daughter cell is initially significantly smaller than its mother cell.
Examples of these are the reproductive to yellow-green algae belonging Ankylonoton pyreniger and the dinoflagellates belonging kind Ceratium hirundinella .
