Question

Which best describes the different modes of bacterial reproduction?

A. In binary fission, the two new cells that are formed are susceptible to the same antibiotic.

B. In conjugation, bacterial DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a replicating virus.

C.In transduction, the cells that are formed are susceptible to the same antibiotic.

D.In transformation, a special sex pilus is required to connect two bacterial cells.

Answer 1

A. In binary fission, the two new cells that are formed are susceptible to the same antibiotic is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

• binary fission best describes the different modes of bacterial reproduction.

• binary fission is an asexual reproduction common form reproduction in bacteria.

• In this process parent cells divide into two identical halves which are similar to their parent.
• Binary fission occurs if the DNA of the bacterium elongates and divides into two parts.
• daughter cell form is a clone of a parent cell.

Answer 2

In binary fission, the two new cells that are formed are susceptible to the same antibiotic,best describes the different modes of bacterial reproduction.
