Binary fission only occurs in ____
A
Bacteria
B
Animals
C
Plants
D
Fungi
E
Protists
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-2: -Comparing binary fission and mitosis Bacterial binary fission is similar in some ways to the mitosis that happens in humans and other eukaryotes. In both cases, chromosomes are copied and separated, and the cell divides its cytoplasm to form two new cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Solution: (a) Binary fission in plants: Binary fission ("division in half") is a kind of asexual reproduction. It is the most common form of reproduction in lower plants such as bacteria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacteria reproduce mainly by binary fission–replicating their DNA so they have two copies on opposite sides of the cell, then growing a new cell wall down the middle to produce two daughter cells. This doubling time takes between 20 minutes and an hour.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
