Question

question 2 of 13
what is the result of binary fission?
○ four daughter cells with genetic material identical to that of the parent cell
○ one daughter cell with genetic material identical to that of the parent cell
○ four daughter cells with half the genetic material of the parent cell
○ two daughter cells with half the genetic material of the parent cell
○ two daughter cells with genetic material identical to that of the parent cell

Explanation:

Binary fission is an asexual reproduction process in prokaryotes where a parent cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells, as no reduction in genetic material occurs. This matches the description of two identical daughter cells.

Answer:

two daughter cells with genetic material identical to that of the parent cell
