Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The process that would lead to offspring with the exact same genetic information as the parent is a bacterium splitting in two. During a process called binary fission, a bacterium duplicates its genetic material and divides into two identical daughter cells. Since there is no genetic recombination or exchange of genetic material with another organism, the offspring produced through binary fission will have the same genetic information as the parent. So the correct answer is: A bacterium splitting in two.
