Question

9.3 A parent amoeba goes through two rounds of binary fission. How many offspring would be created
in the end as a result?

PLEASE ANSWER ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When cells divide by mitosis in the body of a multicellular organism, they cause the organism to grow larger or replace old, worn-out cells with new ones. In the case of a bacterium, however, cell division isn’t just a means of making more cells for the body. Instead, it’s actually how bacteria reproduce, or add more bacteria to the population.

Binary fission has features in common with mitosis, but also differs from mitosis in some important ways. Let's take a look at how it works.

4

Explanation:
