Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the type of asexual reproduction when one cell divides to form two identical cells?
A
Binary Fission
B
Budding
C
Vegetative Propagation
D
Fragmentation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: A form of asexual reproduction used by a single-celled organism to produce two identical daughter cells is binary fission.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction in which one cell divides to form two daughter cells is called binary fission.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fission. In fission (or binary fission), a parent separates into two or more individuals of about equal size. This type of reproduction is common among single-celled organisms including bacteria, archaea, and unicellular eukaryotes, such as protists and some fungi. The single cell divides into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -binary fission, asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies. 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.
