Something that potatoes and bacteria have in common is that they both reproduce.

Question

via binary fission
via vegetative reproduction
using tubers
asexually

Answer 1

That is correct. Both potatoes and bacteria have the ability to reproduce asexually through different methods:

1. Binary fission: Bacteria reproduce by dividing into two identical daughter cells through a process called binary fission.

2. Vegetative reproduction: Potatoes can reproduce asexually through vegetative reproduction. This occurs when a potato plant develops underground stems called stolons, which produce small tubers that grow into new plants.

3. Using tubers: As mentioned in the previous point, potatoes also reproduce through the use of tubers. These are specialized structures that develop from the parent potato plant and can be planted to grow new potato plants, thus asexual reproduction takes place.

So, while both potatoes and bacteria reproduce asexually, the specific methods vary.
