Answer:

The correct answer is option D-it is used primarily by prokaryotes for asexual reproduction.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division which is used by the organism which reproduces through the asexual mode of reproduction.

Binary fission is also a type of asexual reproduction which is common among prokaryotes like bacteria, archaea and protists where a cell divides producing two daughter cells.

But these both modes of asexual reproduction have a difference as mitosis is present in higher multicellular organisms also along with few lower organism whereas binary fission is present in prokaryotes only.

Thus, option D-it is used primarily by prokaryotes for asexual reproduction is the correct answer.

Answer:

Option (B).

Explanation:

The relationship between closely related species can be studied by their evolutionary tree. The two species are closely related if they have similar characteristics and nucleotide sequence.

Species A has the DNA sequence TAGCTTAGGGACGG whereas species B has the DNA sequence TACCTTAGGGACGG. These two species have identical nucleotide sequence with minor differences. Hence, these two species are closely related with each other.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
