Which of the following describes a difference between the processing of genetic material in binary fission versus mitosis? (a) in binary fission, a single dna strand splits into chromosomes; in mitosis, dna is copied directly. (b) in binary fission, dna must undergo a mutation to replicate; in mitosis, it does not. (c) in binary fission, dna is transferred between two neighboring cells; in mitosis, the chromosomes of only one cell are replicated. (d) in binary fission, a single dna strand is replicated; in mitosis, multiple chromosomes are replicated.
