Final answer:
Every cell other than gametes performs mitosis, which results in two new daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. Binary fission is observed in prokaryotic organisms like bacteria. The correct option is A).
Step-by-step explanation:
The type of cell division that every cell other than gametes (sex cells) perform is mitosis. Mitosis is the process by which a cell divides to produce two new daughter cells that are genetically identical to the original parent cell and to each other.
This contrasts with meiosis, which is the process by which sex cells are produced and involves two rounds of cell division resulting in four daughter cells that are not genetically identical and contain half the number of chromosome sets as the original cell.
Binary fission is another form of cell division but is primarily observed in prokaryotic organisms, such as bacteria. In eukaryotic organisms, cell division for the purpose of growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction is achieved through mitosis. Option A) is the correct one.
