Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Bacteria reproduce by ____
A
sexual reproduction only
B
asexual reproduction only
C
usually asexual, sometimes sexual reproduction
D
a unique type of reproduction called endosporosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria reproduce asexually by binary fission. They also show the exchange of DNA through conjugation, transformation and transduction. Bacteria are unicellular, microscopic organisms, which have been grouped as prokaryotes, which means these organisms lack a true nucleus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bacteria reproduce primarily by binary fission, an asexual process whereby a single cell divides into two.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria and archaea reproduce asexually by splitting one cell into two equal halves in a process called binary fission (Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacteria can produce through both sexual and asexual means. Sexual Reproduction Takes Place Through: Conjugation. Transformation.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
