Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organisms undergo Binary Fission?
A
Prokaryotes
B
Eukaryotes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotes such as E. coli, Archaea as well as eukaryotes such as euglena reproduce through binary fission.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) reproduce asexually through binary fission.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prokaryotes such as bacteria propagate by binary fission. For unicellular organisms, cell division is the only method to produce new individuals. In both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the outcome of cell reproduction is a pair of daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
