No. Binary fission is cloning and the genetic diversity that results from this is nil. Excepting the occasional copying errors we cal mutations, but nowhere near the genetic diversity given by sexual reproduction and genetic recombination.

How much energy produced in fission of an atom of uranium compair to an carbon atom?

The energy produced by fission of a uranium atom is millions of times greater than that produced by a carbon atom. Uranium fission releases a large amount of energy due to its high nuclear binding energy per nucleon, whereas carbon fission releases only a fraction of that energy. This difference in energy release is the basis for the use of uranium in nuclear power plants.


Can we use a non radioactive element in fission reaction?

Non-radioactive elements can undergo fission reactions, but they are typically not used in nuclear power plants because their fission tends to require high-energy neutrons, which are more easily produced in reactions involving radioactive elements. However, non-radioactive elements like uranium-238 can undergo fission in certain reactor designs.


When a certain isotope such as Pu 239 is hit by a neutron it will always split into the same smaller nuclei true or false?

false


What is produced when uranium-235 undergoes fission?

When uranium-235 undergoes fission, it can produce two or more lighter nuclei, several neutrons, and a large release of energy in the form of gamma radiation and kinetic energy. This process is what powers nuclear reactors and atomic bombs.


What is neutron moderation used to counteract against?

Neutron moderation is used to counteract against the high speed (fast) neutrons produced during nuclear fission. By slowing down the neutrons through moderation, they are more likely to cause further fission reactions in nuclear reactors, sustaining the chain reaction.

What organisms use fission method?

Single celled organisms, bacteria and protozoa, reproduce by fission.


Which is a the result of binary fission?

Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction which is used by all prokaryotic organisms, and some eukaryotic organisms like fungi as well. In addition to being used to duplicate whole organisms, binary fission is also utilized within the cells of eukaryotic organisms by some of the organelles. In this process, two daughter cells are produced by a single parent cell which effectively clones itself.

Reproduction that does not produce variation among the offspring?

Asexual reproduction does not produce genetic variation among offspring, as the new organisms are exact copies of the parent organism. This process involves only one parent and typically occurs through methods such as budding, regeneration, or binary fission.
