ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the end products of binary fission?
A
Two independent daughter cells that are identical to each other
B
One daughter cell that is genetically different from the parent
C
Two independent daughter cells that are different from each other
D
Two daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The end product of binary fission and mitosis is a) Two daughter cells identical to the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -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).

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell division by either binary fission or mitosis produces two genetically identical cells. This is the basis of asexual reproduction in single-celled organisms: prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission, and single-celled eukaryotes reproduce by mitosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The outcome of binary fission is two new cells that are identical to the original cell. In contrast to prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells may divide via either mitosis or meiosis. Of these two processes, mitosis is more common.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.
