Question

binary fission - produces two daughter cells that are identical to parents
new genes acquired by
random mutation
transformation
conjugation
value: 10
when bacterial cell replicates by binary fission the
a. daughter cells will get only half of the parents genome
b. daughter cells will get a copy of the entire parents genome
c. half of the genome from one parent and half from the other parent
check answer
if a bacterial cell replicated every 30 minutes, how many bacterial cells woul culture started from a single bacterium in 1 hour? answer is 4. time zero 1, minutes 2, and in an hour 4.

Explanation:

Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in bacteria. In asexual reproduction, the offspring inherit a copy of the entire genome of the single parent cell. Options a and c imply genetic contribution from two parents or partial genome inheritance, which is not the case in binary fission (a form of asexual reproduction).

Answer:

B. daughter cells will get a copy of the entire parents genome
