The process that would lead to offspring with the exact same genetic information as the parent is "A bacterium splitting in two."
Explanation:
When a bacterium splits in two through a process called binary fission, it essentially creates two identical copies of itself. During binary fission, the bacterium's DNA replicates, and then one copy of the DNA is distributed to each of the two resulting daughter cells. This means that both daughter cells will have the exact same genetic information as the parent bacterium, making them genetically identical.
