ANSWER:

Solution 44QPStep 1 of 2:Here, we are asked to indicate if given statements are characteristic of the fission or fusion process, or both.

The fission reaction is a nuclear reaction, where a single nucleus of an atom splits into smaller, lighter parts also called as nuclei. ________________
