Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A bacterium can reproduce by which method?
A
budding
B
cloning
C
fission
D
regeneration
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: -Bacteria reproduce primarily by binary fission, an asexual process whereby a single cell divides into two.

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: -Binary Fission – It is a common and simple method of asexual reproduction in bacteria. In this process of asexual reproduction, the parent cell divides into two, leading to two equal-sized daughter cells. Under favourable conditions, bacteria multiply rapidly and may double in 10-15 minutes.
