Answer:

To produce 2 identical daughter cells!

Step-by-step explanation:

Binary Fission is a type of asexual reproduction in prokaryotic cells. Binary fission is done to transfer the DNA into the identical daughter cells. Binary means two and Fission means breakdown, so binary fission means breakdown into 2 identical daughter cells. The organism that reproduce this way are
