Answer: A form of asexual reproduction used by bacteria
Explanation:
Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction used by bacteria to carry out cell division. The results is the cell division used as a method of propagation of the original cell to produce two new cells. The bacteria duplicates its genetic material and then divides into two parts, with each new organism receiving one copy of it. So binary fission creates identical daughter cells.
The steps involved are:
- DNA uncoils and duplicates
- DNA is separated towards the poles of the bacteria
- A new cell wall separates the bacterium
- The new daughter cells now has tightly coiled DNA rods
