How are binary fission and mitosis similar? a. both result in two haploid cells that are similar to the parent cell. b. both form two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. c. both produce organisms that contain genetic material from two parent cells. d. both involve the recombination and separation of genetic material from two parent cells.

Option (B).

Explanation:

Mitosis may be defined as the process of cell division in which a parent cell divides to produce two daughter cells. Binary fission is the process of reproduction in bacteria and other lower organisms.

Both the binary fission and mitosis produces two daughter cells at the end of the process. The daughter cells obtained are genetically identical in the mitosis and binary fission.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
