A.
The nucleus divides in two before the separation.

B.
The daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.

Genetic information is recombined during replication.

The two statements that describe how binary fission maintains genetic continuity are:

B. The daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.

D. The chromosome from the parent cell is completely copied.

These statements highlight how binary fission produces genetically identical daughter cells by ensuring that the genetic material is copied completely and passed on to each daughter cell.
