Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Binary fission results in
A
2 genetically different cells
B
4 genetically identical cells
C
2 genetically identical cells
D
4 genetically different cells
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: -Cell division by either binary fission or mitosis produces two genetically identical cells. This is the basis of asexual reproduction in single-celled organisms: prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission, and single-celled eukaryotes reproduce by mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell division process of prokaryotes (such as E. coli bacteria) is called binary fission. For unicellular organisms, cell division is the only method to produce new individuals. The outcome of this type of cell reproduction is a pair of daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Binary fission is when the parent cell divides into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Most bacteria reproduce by binary fission. In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells.
