Generally speaking, no. Bacteria reproduce asexually, via a process known as binary fission, in which two identical daughter cells results from the splitting of a parent cell.
However, bacteria do have ways of modifying their DNA through various methods.

What does recombination in semiconductor mean?
combination of two semiconductor
What is the process responsible for producing photons in a diode laser?
Electron-hole recombination
What is another way that sexual reproduction results in genetic recombination?
Parent AA and Parent aa have children. All children are Aa Parent Aa and Parent Aa have children. 1AA:2Aa:1aa probability with each child. This is recombination of the most direct/simplest kind.
What are the main sources of heritable variation in a population?
mutations, recombination, random pairing of gametes
Explain the generation and recombination of electrons and holes in semiconductor?
Simply, the two fundamental laws are energy conservation and and momentum conservation.
What type of genetic recombination in bacteria involves DNA transfer by viruses?
There are many ways that genetic recombination could occur in bacteria. One way that it occurs is because of habitat.
Which process performs genetic recombination?
Genetic Recombination is the exchange of genetic information in order to increase the genetic diversity of the population. Probably only with bacteria.
In paramecia and bacteria what is a reproductive process that allows recombination of genetic information?
conjugation
What is the advantage of genetic recombination as a mode of reproduction in bacteria?
greater genetic variation. (e2020 answer)
Can you put two different types of DNA in a single bacteria cell?
Yes; this is referred to as recombination.
Can phosphate solubilizing bacteria undergo fermentation?
no
Can bacteria undergo binary fission?
Yes it can.
Genetic recombination generates diversity in what part of the immune system?
Genetic recombination is a major factor contributing to cell-mediated immunity. Different B cells and T cells are able to recognize a wide variety of targets because of the genetic recombination they undergo in developmental stages.
How are cyanobacteria different from most bacteria?
Cyanobacteria can undergo photosynthesis.
What are pseudo allele?
Any of two or more closely linked genes that act usually as if a single member of an allelic pair but occasionally undergo crossing-over and recombination.
Who were Lederberg and Tatum?
Joshua Lederberg was a molecularbiologist and geneticst. Tatum was also a geneticst. Both were from the USA. Lederberg and Tatum discovered the genetic recombination in bacteria.
Why are bacteria often used in biological studies?
They are less complex and their genomes are easily manipulated. The plasmids in bacteria provide an oppertunity for simple genetic recombination exercises. Bacteria can be easily made to be lab dependent so that if an accidental release occured there would be no contamination because the bacteria can not live outside the lab environment.
