Detailed explanation-1: -In binary fission how does the DNA of the daughter cells compare to the DNA of the parent cell? It is only half of the amount of DNA found in the parent.
Detailed explanation-2: -During binary fission, the genetic material (DNA) is copied, so that each new daughter cell inherits an exact copy of the parent cell’s DNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -This process involves replication of the cell’s chromosomes, segregation of the copied DNA, and splitting of the parent cell’s cytoplasm. The outcome of binary fission is two new cells that are identical to the original cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the process of binary fission the parent organism divides into two halves. Each half forms an independent daughter organism. Binary fission involves mitosis. Here, the resultant offsprings are genetically identical to the parent and to each other.
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The end product of binary fission and mitosis is a) Two daughter cells identical to the parent cell.
