Question

An asexual process used by prokaryotes in which replicated dna and other cell parts are distributed into two daughter cells is called binary fission. mitosis. daughter cell duplication. conjugation. binary fusion.

Answer 1

The answer would be binary fission

Answer 2

Binary fission is an asexual process used by prokaryotes in which replicated DNA and other cell parts are distributed into two daughter cells.

Further Explanation:

Reproduction  

• Reproduction is one of the characteristics of living organisms. All living organisms undergo reproduction to give rise to new offspring.
• There are two types of reproduction.

Asexual reproduction

• It is a type of reproduction that involves only a single organism of a species that form new offspring through division by processes such as mitosis.
• An example of a type of asexual reproduction is binary fission in bacteria, budding, and fragmentation in plants.

Binary fission

• Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction that occurs in bacteria cells.
• Bacteria cell undergoes division through binary fission through which a single cell bacterium cell divides into two daughter cells that are identical.
• Binary division begins with replication of DNA in the bacterial cell, then follows the separation of the DNA copies. This is followed by a division into two cells and separation of the cells.
• Binary division resembles mitotic division as two daughter cells that are identical to the parent are formed.

Sexual reproduction  

• This is a type of reproductions that involves fusion of gametes from the male and female organisms.
• This type of reproduction results in offspring that are genetically different from the parent organisms.

Advantages  

• Enhances genetic variation of the species  
• Offspring are genetically different from the parents
• Offspring have the ability to adapt to harsh environmental conditions

Disadvantages  

• It occurs at a slower rate  
• Takes lots of time and energy to get a mate  
• It is less reliable
• A desirable trait in the offspring cannot be restored.
