Question

How many cells are formed as a result of binary fission?

• A. $2$
• B. $3$
• C. $1$
• D. $4$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$2$

Some of the organisms reproduce by asexual reproduction through binary fission. For example in Amoeba, the nucleus divides first and then the cytoplasm divides which results in the formation of two daughter cells which are identical to the parent cell.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
