Which of the following describes how binary fission and mitosis are similar?
a)they are both used for growth or repair.
b)they both break down membrane-bound nuclei.
c) both involve the replication of a single strand of dna.
d) both replicate genetic material.

The correct answer is D. Both replicate genetic material

Explanation:

Mitosis is the process when an animal cell, plant cell, et cetera divides into two (or replicates itself).

Binary fission is the process when a bacteria splits off into two, which is a simple process since bacteria don't have a nucleus.

They both replicate genetic material when dividing or splitting into two,

so the correct answer is D. Both replicate genetic material.

Hope this helps!

his research revealed two genetically different groups of prokaryotes, which justified splitting kingdom monera into two kingdoms. the genetic and cellular differences were so great, that these two kingdoms were eventually placed into different domains in the current three-domain system.
