Schizogenesis refers to the biological process through which species are formed by splitting apart. This phenomena refers to how some species can evolve into two or more separate but related species over time. There are a number of synonyms that can be used to describe this process including fission, bifurcation, and cleavage. Essentially, these words all refer to the same phenomenon - the splitting of a species or organism into two or more distinct entities. Regardless of the term used, schizogenesis remains an important concept in evolutionary biology and helps to explain how species continue to evolve and diversify over time.
