the diagram shows a reproductive process in a protist.
which statement is true about the daughter cells formed during this process?
two daughter cells are formed that are both different from the parent cell.
two daughter cells are formed that are the same as the parent cell.
two daughter cells are formed that share some of the characteristics of the parent cell.
two daughter cells are formed that are similar to each other but different from the parent cell.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the reproductive process

The diagram shows binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction in protists.

Step2: Analyze asexual reproduction characteristics

In asexual reproduction (like binary fission), the genetic material is replicated and passed on. The daughter cells receive an identical copy of the parent cell's genetic material.

Answer:

Two daughter cells are formed that are the same as the parent cell.
