Q: Pieces of the cell break off and form a new cell in what type of reproduction that produces genetically identical organisms?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Like bacteria, reproduction in archaea is asexual. Archaea can reproduce through binary fission , where a parent cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells. Archaea can also reproduce asexually through budding and fragmentation, where pieces of the cell break off and form a new cell, also producing genetically identical organisms.

 Choices:

- Meiosis

- Mitosis

- Fusion

- fragmentation


A:
fragmentation
