Question

Which process would lead to offspring with the exact same genetic information as a parent?

A tree growing from the stump of another tree

A bird laying an egg

A bacterium splitting in two

A plant growing from a seed

Answer 1

The process that would lead to offspring with the exact same genetic information as a parent is:

**A bacterium splitting in two.**

This process, known as binary fission, is a form of asexual reproduction in which a bacterium divides into two identical daughter cells, both having the same genetic material as the parent. The other options involve sexual reproduction or genetic mixing, leading to genetic variation in the offspring.
