The commonality between potatoes and bacteria is that they both reproduce asexually.
Potatoes can reproduce asexually through a method called vegetative reproduction, specifically using tubers. Bacteria typically reproduce asexually via binary fission.
So, the correct comparison would be that both potatoes and bacteria reproduce asexually, but they do so through different methods:
- Potatoes use vegetative reproduction (using tubers).
- Bacteria reproduce by binary fission.
