• Budding

• fragmentation

• binary fission

• vegetative propagation

Binary fission is a type of

• propagation

• sexual reproduction

• asexual reproduction

• fragmentation

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS3-2

In binary fission, all of the following occur

EXCEPT...

• there is an increase in the number of bacterial cells

• the bacteria cell invades a host cell

• the resulting cells are genetically identical to the original cell

• only one parent cell was involved at the beginning

What type of cell are bacteria?

• eukaryote
• prokaryote
• animal
• plant

Prokaryotes have a membrane-bound nucleus.

• True
• False

Conjugation is

• sexual reproduction
• the passing of a DNA plasmid from one bacteria to another
• the joining of sentences with the words "and" or "or"
• the way bacteria make food

Conjugation

• increases genetic variation
• creates more bacteria
• is bacterial sexual reproduction
• the joining of 2 bacteria into 1 super-bacteria

Endospores are created by bacteria

• when environmental conditions become unfavorable
• to woo female bacteria
• as a defense mechanism against invading viruses
• when they produce eggs
