C)replication
D)cytokinesis alone
E)binary fission

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Somatic cells are formed by mitotic cell division, where a parent cell divides into two daughter cells with identical genetic information. Meiosis is the process of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and eggs) with half the genetic information. Replication is the process of DNA duplication, while cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division that involves the separation of cytoplasm and organelles between daughter cells. Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction used by prokaryotic organisms.
