Question

Which of the following describes a difference between the processing of genetic material in binary fission versus mitosis?

In binary fission, a single DNA strand splits into chromosomes; in mitosis, DNA is copied directly.
In binary fission, DNA must undergo a mutation to replicate; in mitosis, it does not.
In binary fission, DNA is transferred between two neighboring cells; in mitosis, the chromosomes of only one cell are replicated.
In binary fission, a single DNA strand is replicated; in mitosis, multiple chromosomes are replicated.

Answer 1

Which do you think it is

Answer 2

actually nevermind
the answer is the 4th one

Answer 3

Binary Fission and Mitosis are almost exactly Identical in that both are ways that cells reproduce asexually, but bacteria go through Binary Fission while Eukaryotes go through mitosis

Answer 4

so "In binary fission, a single DNA strand is replicated; in mitosis, multiple chromosomes are replicated."?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

thanks :)

Answer 7

yeah I agree because usually binary fission occurs in bacteria and prokaryotes while mitosis occurs in eukaryotes. So most of the prokaryotes have single circular DNA. That's how it happenns
