Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is Binary Fission?
A
develops an outgrowth which is detached from the parent and becomes a new individual.
B
the organism produce its own spores. These spores are genetically identical to the parent
C
during this type of reproduction the organism divides in half
D
Organisms can be produced from unfertilized eggs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -“Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which an organism divides into two, each part carrying one copy of genetic material.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Binary fission is when an organism splits into two identical individual organisms without sex taking place. It is a type of asexual reproduction which often occurs in prokaryote micro-organisms. Some organelles among eukaryotes reproduce using binary fission.

Detailed explanation-4: -Binary fission is a type of asexual mode of reproduction. In binary fission, the nucleus of the parent cell divides followed by cytoplasmic division and ultimately two new daughter cells are formed. It is seen in unicellular organisms such as amoeba, paramecium etc.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
