Question

Consider the gray circles as genetic information within a cell that goes through asexual reproduction. Compared with the genetic material of the original cell on the top of the diagram, each of the two new cells at the bottom of the diagram contains —

Answer 1

The outcome of cell reproduction in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is genetically identical daughter cells. The genetic material encoded in DNA is replicated and distributed to the daughter cells during cell reproduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

In both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the outcome of cell reproduction is a pair of daughter cells, which are genetically identical to the parent cell. During cell reproduction, the genetic material, encoded in DNA, is replicated and distributed to the daughter cells.

In prokaryotes, such as bacteria, cell reproduction occurs through binary fission, where the single circular DNA chromosome is duplicated and separated into the daughter cells. In eukaryotes, such as humans, cell reproduction involves mitosis, where the chromosomes are duplicated and evenly distributed to the daughter cells through a series of steps.
