VIRUS AND BACTERIA

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Reproduces by splitting itself into two
A
Bacteria
B
Virus
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Most bacteria reproduce by binary fission. In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two (replicates).

Detailed explanation-3: -The mode of reproduction in which unicellular organism split into two equal halves and produce new ones is called binary fission. For example-amoeba and bacteria.

Detailed explanation-4: -These microscopic organisms reproduce by asexual methods only. Asexual reproduction occurs by binary fission, wherein a cell divides into two and the formation of endospores occurs during unfavourable conditions. Sexual reproduction is unheard of in bacteria.

Detailed explanation-5: -Binary fission is the process by which bacteria asexually divide into two identical daughter cells. During this process, the bacterial chromosome replicates and the two copies are attached to different parts of the cell membrane.
