Bacteria reproduce by binary fission. In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two (replicates).
What does that tell you?
Bacteria can reproduce through asexual or sexual reproduction. Environmental conditions for a particular bacteria species are good and the bacteria are thriving. Which form of reproduction will the bacteria most likely use?
A. The bacteria will most likely reproduce through asexual
reproduction to maintain genetic continuity.
B. The bacteria will most likely reproduce thual
reproduction to maintain genetic continuity.
C. The bacteria will most likely reproduce through asexual
reproduction to increase genetic diversity.
D. The bacteria will most likely reproduce thual
