Answer:

mutation in DNA

Explanation:

Mutations are changes in the genetic code that can occur in many ways. Each time a cell divides, say, DNA must be copied into two copies, one copy for each new cell. Although this copying is very precise, it is still not perfect - for about every billion accurately copied databases, one is mistranslated.

Another source is DNA damage, which can occur spontaneously through the normal life of the cell, or through external toxins or negative influences (ultraviolet radiation, for example). Through evolution, cells have developed a very complex system for repairing changes in DNA, but these systems not only have limitations but can sometimes cause additional errors themselves.

Which best explains how binary fission contributes to the genetic continuity of a population? A Binary fission maintains genetic

kozerog [31]

Answer:

B Binary fission maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Explanation:

Genetic continuity ensures that genetic information is passed from one generation to another in correct way so that the resultant progeny has the complete set of genes required for survival. For example, at the end of mitosis, daughter cells should have the same number of chromosomes as parent cell.

Binary fission is a method of reproduction in some organisms like bacteria. It is an asexual mode of reproduction in which the parent cell splits into daughter cells without the process of fusion with another cell. It still maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells are identical to the parent cell and thus have same number of chromosomes and type of genes.
