Which shows cell reproduction seen in bacteria?
a
Binary fission
b
Mitosis
c
Bacteria use all three methods for cell division.
d
Meiosis
The correct answer is a) Binary fission.
The image shows a single cell splitting into two identical daughter cells, which is the process of binary fission. This method is commonly seen in bacteria and other single-celled organisms. Mitosis is the process of cell division in eukaryotic cells, such as cells in plants and animals. Meiosis is a special type of cell division that occurs in the production of gametes (sex cells) in eukaryotes. Option c) is incorrect as bacteria use binary fission, not all three methods.
