Three models of cellular reproduction are shown below.

Which explanation about cellular reproduction is best supported by the models?
a
Meiosis and mitosis both produce daughter cells with fewer chromosomes than the parent cells.
b
Binary fission and mitosis both produce daughter cells that are identical to the parent cells
c
Mitosis and meiosis both produce diploid and haploid gametes during cellular replication.
d
Meiosis and binary fission both include the process of crossing over during cellular replication and two divisions.
The best explanation supported by the models is option b:
"Binary fission and mitosis both produce daughter cells that are identical to the parent cells." This is because the models show a single cell dividing into two identical daughter cells, which is characteristic of both binary fission and mitosis.
