Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cell division in prokaryotes that forms two genetically identical cells.
A
cloning
B
budding
C
fission
D
regeneration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotes reproduce through a cell division process called binary fission. Like mitosis in eukaryotes, this process involves copying the chromosome and separating one cell into two.

Detailed explanation-2: -Binary fission is a form of cell division in prokaryotic organisms that produces identical offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike eukaryotes, prokaryotes (which include bacteria) undergo a type of cell division known as binary fission. In some respects, this process is similar to mitosis; it requires replication of the cell’s chromosomes, segregation of the copied DNA, and splitting of the parent cell’s cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prokaryotic cells grow to a certain size. Then they divide by binary fission. This is a type of asexual reproduction. Binary fission produces genetically identical offspring.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
