Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the process by which a bacteria cell replicates its DNA and divides in half?
A
Lysis
B
Binary Fission
C
Conjugation
D
Prophage
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Binary fission is the primary method of reproduction of prokaryotic organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bacterial binary fission is the process that bacteria use to carry out cell division. Learn the steps of binary fission, including copying the bacterial chromosome and forming a new cell wall.

Detailed explanation-3: -fission is when one cell divides to form two new cells. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacteria and archaea reproduce asexually by splitting one cell into two equal halves in a process called binary fission (Figure 1). Before a cell divides, it must first replicate the genome so that each daughter cell gets a copy of the DNA instruction manual.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prokaryotes reproduce through a cell division process called binary fission. Like mitosis in eukaryotes, this process involves copying the chromosome and separating one cell into two.
