Solution

The correct option is A True
Bacteria undergoes binary fission. It is important that it divides at the right time and at the right place. Bacteria must ensure that each offspring receives a complete copy of its essential genetic components, which is the DNA. The cell copies the DNA and segregates these copies to the opposite sides of the cell. Division happens in such a way that the cytoplasm is split without damaging the DNA in the process. The last step for completing the process of fission is the cell wall synthesis.
