ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Bacteria is an example of what type of asexual reproduction.
A
fission
B
budding
C
spores
D
vegetative
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Binary Fission – It is a common and simple method of asexual reproduction in bacteria. In this process of asexual reproduction, the parent cell divides into two, leading to two equal-sized daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most bacteria rely on binary fission for propagation. Conceptually this is a simple process; a cell just needs to grow to twice its starting size and then split in two.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria reproduce primarily by binary fission, an asexual process whereby a single cell divides into two.

Detailed explanation-4: -1: Fission: Coral polyps reproduce asexually by fission, where an organism splits into two separate organisms.

Detailed explanation-5: -In bacterial cells, the genome consists of a single, circular DNA chromosome; therefore, the process of cell division is simplified. Mitosis is unnecessary because there is no nucleus or multiple chromosomes. This type of cell division is called binary fission.
