Most prokaryotic cells reproduce through binary fission. In binary fission, a single cell splits into two new copies of itself, similar to mitosis.Eukaryotic organisms can reproduce in two ways. Single eukaryotic cells can split into two through a process called mitosis. Larger eukaryotic organisms, such as animals, reproduce by combining special cells called gametes. These gametes are made through a process called meiosis.Which one of the following statements are true?

Sperm and egg cells reproduce through a process called binary fission

Bacteria reproduce through mitosis.

Bacteria reproduce through meiosis.

|
Gametes reproduce through mitosis.

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: -Prokaryotes reproduce through a cell division process called binary fission.
Detailed explanation-3: -Reproduction in prokaryotes is asexual and usually takes place by binary fission.
Detailed explanation-4: -Unlike eukaryotes, prokaryotes (which include bacteria) undergo a type of cell division known as binary fission. In some respects, this process is similar to mitosis; it requires replication of the cell’s chromosomes, segregation of the copied DNA, and splitting of the parent cell’s cytoplasm.
