(Sorry if this is late)

The answer to this is B because it is the only answer choice that is true.

This is actually a quick process, making A incorrect.

C is incorrect because there are no different genes to combine with, since there is only ONE parent cell.

D is incorrect because the offspring are clones. They haven't adapted at all.

Have an awesome day! :)
