The fact that the vast majority of bacteria multiply by binary fission indicates that: a. the mother of cell's constituents must be evenly distributed between the two daughter cells during cell division b. the parent cell gives rise to another cell, identical in size and shape c. the dividing cell does not increase in mass before cell division d. only one of the daughter cells gets the parental genome

Step 1
During binary fission, the mother cell's constituents are indeed evenly distributed between the two daughter cells. This ensures that both cells have the necessary components to function and grow. b. The parent cell does give rise to another cell, which is Show more…

In bacteria: a. several chromosomes undergo mitosis. b. binary fission produces four daughter cells. c. replication begins at the origin ( ori), and the DNA strands separate. d. the plasma membrane plays an important role in separating the duplicated chromosomes into the two daughter cells. e. the daughter cells receive different genetic information from the parent cell.

When a parent cell makes several nuclei and divides to make several daughter cells, it is called _____. A.) meiosis B.) mitosis C.) binary fission D.) multiple fission
Adi S.
A parent cell divides to form two genetically identical daughter cells in the process of mitosis. For mitosis to take place: A. the parent cell must divide its DNA in half so each daughter cell gets only the genes needed to carry out its functions. In this way, differentiation occurs. B. the parent cell must reproduce its DNA during telophase C. the parent cell must first be fertilized D. the parent cell must replicate its entire genome prior to mitosis E. crossover must be delayed until the second cell division
