Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Bacteria reproduce through what method? (be as specific as possible)
A
asexual reproduction
B
sexual reproduction
C
binary fission
D
conjugation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria reproduce asexually by binary fission. They also show genetic transfer through recombination that results in non-identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Binary fission is when an organism splits into two identical individual organisms without sex taking place. It is a type of asexual reproduction which often occurs in prokaryote micro-organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -binary fission, asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies. In the process of binary fission, an organism duplicates its genetic material, or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and then divides into two parts (cytokinesis), with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
