Question

Binary fission is a characteristic of kingdom ______ and is most similar to the cellular processes of ___________. (2 points)

Bacteria: mitosis, because the cell replicates its DNA and divides into daughter cells

Viruses: transcription, because the DNA is copied exactly

Protista: meiosis, because the two rounds of cell divisions result in haploid cells

Fungi: translation, because proteins are made using the copied segments of mRNA

Answer 1

Answer: A) Bacteria: mitosis, because the cell replicates its DNA and divides into daughter cells

------

Binary fission is the form of cell division used by many prokaryotes, especially bacteria. It is a similar process to mitosis in that it divides into two new daughter cells with the same DNA.

Answer 2

The correct answer is - Bacteria: mitosis because the cell replicates its DNA and divides into daughter cells.

Explanation:

Binary fission is a literal mean division in two which is a type of asexual reproduction that is most common in prokaryotes such as bacteria. IN this process DNA replication and DNA segregation takes place altogether.

It is more like the process of mitosis cell division that is also divided into two daughter cell from a single cell with a same number of chromosomes.

Thus, the correct answer is option - Bacteria: mitosis, because the cell replicates its DNA and divides into daughter cells.
