Question

Bacteria can reproduce quickly by means of binary fission. because of this, after binary fission..

Answer 1

The correct answer is option C, all the offspring will be genetically identical

Step-by-step explanation:

Binary fission is the process of cell division used in most of the unicellular organisms. It is very much similar to the mitotic division in the multi-cellular organisms. In bacteria's, cells dividing by binary fission copy its DNA. DNA replication during binary fission actually happens at the same time as DNA separation and thus the new cells formed are identical to each other.

Answer 2

Out of the following given choices;

A)the offspring will have traits of both parents.

B)there is genetic variation among the offspring.

C)all the offspring will be genetically identical.

D)none of the offspring will be genetically like the parents.

The answer is C. This is because, in binary fusion, they are no formation of gametes. Therefore genetic variability that comes with sexual reproduction not found in asexual reproduction. Mostly, the offspring buds off from the parent or grows from a split part of the parent. Therefore the offspring is genetically identical to the parent
