Question

binary fission is considered what type of reproduction?
a asexual reproduction
b sexual reproduction
c fragmentation
d budding

Explanation:

Binary fission is a process where a single parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells, without the involvement of gametes or the fusion of genetic material from two parents. This fits the definition of asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction requires two parents and the combination of genetic material, while fragmentation and budding are other forms of asexual reproduction but distinct from binary fission (binary fission is direct cell division, unlike fragmentation which is breaking into parts or budding which is outgrowth - based). So the correct option is the one that identifies binary fission as asexual reproduction.

Answer:

a. Asexual reproduction
