Question

Bacteria reproductive strategies include all of the following EXCEPT __________.

1) binary fission.
2) budding.
3) multiple fission.
4) formation of multinucleoid filaments that break apart into uninucleate spores.
5) fusion of two bacterial cells that then split into four uninucleate cells.

Answer 1

Bacteria reproduce through a process called binary fission, where the chromosome copies itself and the cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

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. The two daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.
