The model shows the process of binary fission.
Which best explains how binary fission contributes to the genetic continuity of a population?
A
Binary fission maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain twice as many chromosomes as the parent cell.
B
Binary fission maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
C
Binary fission does not maintain genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
D
Binary fission does not maintain genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain a smaller number of chromosomes than the parent cell.
