Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organisms reproduce by binary fission where one single cell splits into two identical cells?
A
starfish and flatworm
B
giraffe and zebra
C
bacteria and amoeba
D
spider plant and strawberry plant
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Amoeba reproduces asexually through binary fission. In this process, an individual divides itself into two daughter cells. These are genetically identical to each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Binary fission is an asexual mode of reproduction in which a cell splits into two daughter cells. This mode of reproduction is seen in Amoeba, Leishmania, and also in bacteria.

Detailed explanation-3: -The mode of reproduction in which unicellular organism split into two equal halves and produce new ones is called binary fission. For example-amoeba and bacteria.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bacterial binary fission is the process that bacteria use to carry out cell division. Binary fission is similar in concept to the mitosis that happens in multicellular organisms (such as plants and animals), but its purpose is different.
