Hi there!

Explanation: Binary fission is the process of cell division (asexual reproduction) in prokaryotic organisms by which the parent cell divides into two genetically identical cells.

1. Asexual reproduction

2. two genetically identical cells

3. very rapid reproduction

DNA is copied. DNA molecules attach to the cell membrane. The membrane elongates and pinches off. Two new, identical cells are produced.

Hope this helps!
