Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Prokaryotes reproduce asexually by ____
A
binary fission.
B
conjugation.
C
endospores.
D
mutation.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How do prokaryotes reproduce? Prokaryotes reproduce through a cell division process called binary fission. Like mitosis in eukaryotes, this process involves copying the chromosome and separating one cell into two.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reproduction in prokaryotes is asexual and usually takes place by binary fission. The DNA of a prokaryote exists as as a single, circular chromosome. Prokaryotes do not undergo mitosis; rather the chromosome is replicated and the two resulting copies separate from one another, due to the growth of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Binary fission is asexual reproduction because during this process one bacterial cell splits into two. The new cell is a perfect copy of the original. During this process, one cell divides into two. There are no gametes involved, as there is during sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prokaryotic cells divide through a form of asexual reproduction called binary fission. This is a simple process in which chromosomes replicate, as the cell increases in size and the resulting two sets of chromosomes move apart to opposite ends of the cell.
