Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In binary fission how does the DNA of the daughter cells compare to the DNA of the parent cell?
A
It is only half of the amount of DNA found in the parent.
B
It is identical.
C
It is a mix of the parent’s DNA.
D
It has some similarities and some differences.
Explanation: 

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: -Except in the case of rare mutations, or changes in DNA sequence, binary fission produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to the mother cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The parent cell simply divides to form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, whereas sexual reproduction produces a similar, but genetically unique offspring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The end product of binary fission and mitosis is a) Two daughter cells identical to the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
