How does the process of binary fission work in the asexual reproduction of bacteria?
A
Two cells join to become one larger cell.
B
One cell splits into two cells with identical DNA.
C
DNA material from the environment is added to the cell.
D
Bacteria can only reproduce via sexual reproduction, not asexual reproduction.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -binary fission, asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies. 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.

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: -Binary fission is how bacteria reproduce. During binary fission, the chromosome copies itself, forming 2 genetically identical copies. Then, the cells enlarges and divides into 2 new daughter cells. The 2 daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction typically observed in prokaryotes and a few single-celled eukaryotes. In this method of asexual reproduction, there is a separation of the parent cell into two new daughter cells.
