Binary fission is a characteristics of simple, prokaryotic organisms that belong to kingdom bacteria. It represents a type of asexual reproduction, which involves division of a parent cell to produce two daughter cells, with same genetic makeup as present in parent cell.
Binary division is similar to mitosis, which occurs in eukaryotic organisms for growth and development as both the processes involve replication of DNA and formation of two daughter cells from a parent cell.
Answer: When the plant has enough water in its cells the guard cells swell up and open the stomata. When the plant isn't getting enough water the guard cells can't swell and the stomata stay closed, so the plant doen's lose water. But if the stomata are closed photosynthesis can't happen and eventually the plant might starve.
