Q-00001604

Explain the process of binary fission and multiple fission.

1

Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single parent cell divides into two equal parts, while multiple fission is a form of sexual reproduction involving the fusion of multiple gametes.

2

Binary fission is a form of sexual reproduction involving the fusion of two gametes, while multiple fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single parent cell divides into multiple offspring.

3

Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single parent cell divides into two equal parts, while multiple fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single parent cell divides into multiple offspring.

4

Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which multiple parent cells fuse to form a single offspring, while multiple fission is a form of sexual reproduction.

Answer and Solution

Answer

C. Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single parent cell divides into two equal parts, while multiple fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single parent cell divides into multiple offspring.

Solution:

Binary fission is a common form of asexual reproduction in single-celled organisms where a parent cell divides into two equal parts, each developing into a new individual. Multiple fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a parent cell divides into multiple offspring. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single parent cell divides into two equal parts, while multiple fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single parent cell divides into multiple offspring.'
