1.8 Genetic Continuity via Binary fission & Mitosis Quiz

Select ALL of the following that are benefits of binary fission (3 answers).

Binary fission occurs in                                               and produces                                                           cells.

Put the following steps of binary fission in order.

How do bacteria cells maintain genetic continuity?

Fully grown parent cells split into two halves resulting in two daughter cells with the exact DNA as the parent.  (Hint…Bacteria)

In binary fission and mitosis the DNA of the daughter cells compare to the DNA of the parent cell by being genetically                                         .

How many parent(s) are needed for binary fission?

Mitosis, a stage in the cell cycle, is important for what reason?

Which process is faster?

Which process involves DNA replication? (making copies of DNA)
