Question

When a single parent simply replicates its DNA and then divides, what occurs?

Answer 1

The process of binary fission will occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Binary fission is the example of asexual reproduction in which only one parent is involved in reproduction.
• The genetic material of cell is simply divide into two DNA molecules.
• Then these DNA molecules are divide, making to identical cells.
• These cell then replicate to form 2 cells each.
• This type of fission is done in prokaryotes like bacteria.

Answer 2

That describes a reproduction process called mitosis. The parent cell doules its DNA and then divide in 2 two each contain the same number of chromossomes as the parent cell.
