Question

Which type of asexual reproduction involves duplication of the parent DNA before dividing itself into two?

binary fission

budding

fragmentation

nuclear fusion

Answer 1

binary fission - asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies. In the process of binary fission, an organism duplicates its genetic material, or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and then divides into two parts (cytokinesis), with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA.
