Division Type

Mitosis
Binary fission
Meiosis

Outcome

Two prokaryotic daughter cells, each with one circular chromosome
Two diploid (2n) eukaryotic daughter cells, genetically identical to parent
Four haploid (n) gametes with genetic variation due to crossover

Correct Answer

(1) Binary fission,Two prokaryotic daughter cells, each with one circular chromosome
(2) Mitosis,Two diploid (2n) eukaryotic daughter cells, genetically identical to parent
(3) Meiosis,Four haploid (n) gametes with genetic variation due to crossover

Explanation

Comparing the three division types:

Division Cell Type Outcome
Binary fission Prokaryote 2 identical daughter cells
Mitosis Eukaryote 2 diploid identical daughter cells
Meiosis Eukaryote 4 haploid genetically varied gametes
