Question

which process is similar to binary fission?
genetic variation
crossing over
meiosis
mitosis

Explanation:

• Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes.
• Mitosis is a type of cell division in eukaryotes that results in two daughter cells with the same genetic information as the parent cell.
• In both binary fission and mitosis, the genetic material is replicated and then divided equally between the two new cells.
• Genetic variation involves changes in the genetic makeup of a population.
• Crossing over occurs during meiosis and leads to genetic recombination.
• Meiosis results in the formation of gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Answer:

mitosis
