Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many single-celled eukaryotes that exist in a haploid state reproduce asexually by mitotic cell division. This means that the parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells without undergoing meiosis or fusion. Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction, but it is typically used to describe the process in prokaryotes, not eukaryotes. Meiotic cell division and fusion (such as in sexual reproduction) are not typically used in asexual reproduction.
