Question

without external forces, the third generation of a bacterium and the original parent cell will have approximately ______ matching dna sequences. (1 point)
100%
25%
12.5%
33%

Explanation:

Bacteria reproduce by binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction. In the absence of external forces like mutations, the DNA is replicated accurately. Each new - generation cell receives an identical copy of the parent cell's DNA. So, the third - generation bacterium will have approximately 100% matching DNA sequences with the original parent cell.

Answer:

A. 100%
