Asexual reproduction in bacteria is also known as binary fission.

In binary fission, the DNA of the circular bacterial chromosome begins to replicate at its origin of replication, producing two origins. One origin moves toward the opposite end of the cell as the chromosome begins to replicate. When the replication is done, the plasma membrane grows inward, resulting in two new daughter cells.

List at least one type of organism that does not undergo meiosis?

Bacteria (prokaryotes) do not undergo meiosis. They reproduce through a process called binary fission, which is a form of asexual reproduction.


Why do do organism undergo the asexual reproduction multiply faster than those that undergo sexual reproduction?

Organisms that undergo asexual reproduction can multiply faster than those that undergo sexual reproduction because asexual reproduction does not require the time and energy to find a mate. Asexual reproduction also passes on identical genetic material to offspring, allowing for rapid expansion of the population under favorable conditions.


When is Asexual reproduction more common?

What cellular process did plants undergo if they were clones?

Clones are offspring that are genetically identical to their parents and are produced through asexual reproduction, as opposed to sexual reproduction which produces a genetically different offspring.


How bacteria reproduce?

Bacteria reproduce using two basic methods: Asexual reproduction and Sexual reproduction. Bacteria can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Sexual reproduction involves the joining of two parents and the exchanging of genetic materials. Asexual reproduction involves only one individual or parent. The offspring generated by asexual reproduction are exact duplicates of the parents.Binary Fission is the process by which a bacteria splits into two cells. Each cell gets an exact copy of the parent cell's genetic material. I hope this answered your question! <3

Is bacteria a asexual organism?

Yes, bacteria are asexual organisms because they reproduce through binary fission, where a single bacterium divides into two identical daughter cells. Bacteria do not undergo sexual reproduction involving the fusion of gametes from different individuals.


Do all plants undergo sexual reproduction?

No, not all plants undergo sexual reproduction. Some plants are capable of asexual reproduction through processes like vegetative propagation or fragmentation.

Is fertilization asexual or sexual in humans?

Fertilization in humans is a sexual process because it involves the fusion of a sperm cell from a male with an ovum (egg cell) from a female to form a zygote. This zygote then develops into an embryo, leading to sexual reproduction.
