NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) reproduce asexually through binary fission. Most prokaryotes reproduce rapidly. Due to their fast growth and simple genetics, E. coli bacteria are widely used in molecular biology.

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: Prokaryotic cells can reproduce either sexually and asexually. In a bacterial cell, sexual reproduction occurs via three different methods: conjugation, transformation, and transduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -A large percentage of microorganisms, the prokaryotes (those without a nucleus) reproduce asexually. Bacteria and archaea primarily reproduce using binary fission. One cell simply splits into two identical cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Do all bacteria reproduce sexually or asexually? Even though bacteria are single-celled prokaryotic creatures, they do not have a male or female counterpart. Bacteria reproduce asexually.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prokaryotic cells grow to a certain size. Then they divide by binary fission. This is a type of asexual reproduction. Binary fission produces genetically identical offspring.
