Thanks Michael! 100% correct.

Michael is right I did the test and got a 100% Thank you Michael

I think that it is C. 33%

To determine the percentage of matching DNA sequences between the third generation of a bacterium and the original parent cell, you can use the fact that each generation of bacteria undergoes binary fission, resulting in an exact copy of the parent cell’s DNA.

Since no external forces or genetic mutations are introduced, the DNA sequences of the third generation bacteria will have the same DNA as the parent cell. Therefore, the correct answer is 100% as there will be an exact match between the DNA sequences of the two generations.
