Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
For a newly evolving protist, what would be the advantage of using eukaryote-like cell division rather than binary fission?
A
Cell division would allow for the orderly and efficient segregation of multiple linear chromosomes.
B
Cell division would be faster than binary fission.
C
Cell division allows for lower rates of error per chromosome replication.
D
Binary fission would not allow the organism to have complex cells.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -D) Cell division allows for lower rates of error per chromosome replication. E) Binary fission would not allow the organism to have complex cells. that it allows for the orderly and efficient segregation of multiple linear chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cell division would allow for the orderly and efficient segregation of multiple linear chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Cell division in eukaryotes is more complicated as compared to prokaryotes because of the presence of many chromosomes that are enclosed by a nuclear membrane and also due to a number of organelles contained in the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Eukaryotic have a more complex cell structure due to compartmentalisation of organelles. So, they need a more complex process like mitosis which also divides the organelles and cytoplasm equally among the daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus.
