ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Bacteria reproduce by dividing through a process called binary fission. Which type of reproduction is described above?
A
Asexual
B
Sexual
C
Meiosis
D
Fertilization
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction typically observed in prokaryotes and a few single-celled eukaryotes. In this method of asexual reproduction, there is a separation of the parent cell into two new daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bacteria reproduce primarily by binary fission, an asexual process whereby a single cell divides into two.

Detailed explanation-3: -Binary fission is the process through which asexual reproduction happens in bacteria. During binary fission, a single organism becomes two independent organisms. Binary fission also describes the duplication of organelles in eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-4: -In biology, binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a parent cell divides, resulting in two identical cells, each having the potential to grow to the size of the original cell. The word asexual describes a reproduction that occurs without involving sex cells (gametes).
