Question

What is the different between binary fusion and binary fission ?

Answer 1

Fusion = joining together

Fission = splitting apart

Binary fusion doesn't exist though. Binary = splitting. Fusion = joining. It doesn't make sense.

Answer 2

Binary fusion is really a contradiction:

Binary fusion; this term is quite contradictory or redundant. binary involves the splitting of 1 thing into 2 ie; binary fission is the asexual reproduction of single-cell organisms and involves the single cell splitting into 2 cells. and fusion, root word fuse, is to mold or adhere 2 or more parts, things whatever together into one. so i would venture to say that binary fusion would mean the molding(fusing) of 2 parts into 1.

This explains it quite well I think.
