What is binary fission used for?
A
Reproduction only
B
Reproduction and repair
C
Repair only
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the process of binary fission, an organism duplicates its genetic material, or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and then divides into two parts (cytokinesis), with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA. Binary fission is the primary method of reproduction of prokaryotic organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most bacteria rely on binary fission for propagation. Conceptually this is a simple process; a cell just needs to grow to twice its starting size and then split in two.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are several different methods of asexual reproduction. They include binary fission, fragmentation, and budding. Binary fission occurs when a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells of the same size.

Detailed explanation-4: -Binary fission is the main method of reproduction for bacteria such as Escherichia coli. However, it is also used in protists such as paramecium and amoebas. Binary fission is also the type of division that is used to reproduce organelles within eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -They are: Simple Binary Fission/ Irregular Binary Fission. Longitudinal Binary Fission. Transverse Binary Fission.
