Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is when one bacteria cell reproduces by division in half to become two cells.
A
conjugation
B
binary fission
C
parasitism
D
natural selection
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Binary fission is the primary method of reproduction of prokaryotic organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bacteria reproduce through a process called binary fission. During binary fission, the chromosome copies itself, forming two genetically identical copies. Then, the cell enlarges and divides into two new daughter cells. The two daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most bacteria rely on binary fission for propagation. Conceptually this is a simple process; a cell just needs to grow to twice its starting size and then split in two.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.
