When a single cell of E. coli reproduces, it first duplicates its DNA. Next, the cell elongates as each copy of DNA is pulled toward opposite ends of the cell. The membrane then pinches inward, dividing the cytoplasm into two halves and producing two daughter cells. What is true about these daughter cells? A. They are genetically different from the parent because they are produced by sexual reproduction. B. They are genetically identical to the parent because they are produced by asexual reproduction. C. They are genetically identical to the parent because they are produced by sexual reproduction. D. They are genetically different from the parent because they are produced by asexual reproduction.
