Answer:

The correct answer is D. Both replicate genetic material

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is the process when an animal cell, plant cell, et cetera divides into two (or replicates itself).

Binary fission is the process when a bacteria splits off into two, which is a simple process since bacteria don't have a nucleus.

They both replicate genetic material when dividing or splitting into two,

so the correct answer is D. Both replicate genetic material.

Hope this helps!
