Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Bacteria reproduce asexually by a process called
A
replication
B
meiosis
C
mitosis
D
binary fission
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria reproduce through a process called binary fission. During binary fission, the chromosome copies itself, forming two genetically identical copies. Then, the cell enlarges and divides into two new daughter cells. Each daughter cell receives one copy of the replicated chromosome.

Detailed explanation-2: -Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction typically observed in prokaryotes and a few single-celled eukaryotes. In this method of asexual reproduction, there is a separation of the parent cell into two new daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bacterial binary fission is the process that bacteria use to carry out cell division. Binary fission is similar in concept to the mitosis that happens in multicellular organisms (such as plants and animals), but its purpose is different.

Detailed explanation-4: -Microorganisms reproduce by binary fission, producing two daughter cells identical to the parent cell.
