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 by binary fission, resulting in two daughter cells identical to the parent cell. Bacteria can exchange DNA through the processes of conjugation, transformation, or transduction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Prokaryotes such as E. coli, Archaea as well as eukaryotes such as euglena reproduce through binary fission.
Detailed explanation-4: -Binary fission results in two identical daughter cells and is an example of asexual reproduction. Conjugation is an example sexual reproduction because two bacterial cells need to be in contact for conjugation to take place.
Detailed explanation-5: -Binary fission and conjugation are two reproduction methods shown by bacteria. The main difference between binary fission and conjugation is that binary fission is an asexual reproduction method whereas conjugation is a sexual reproduction method.
