What else can I help you with?
Can a bacterium reproduce by binary fission?
No.
Do bacterium reproduce by budding?
Yes there are some bacteria that reproduce by budding, however binary fission is more common.
Can bacterium cause disease?
Yes of course it can . Bacterium is the plural of bacteria so yes it can cause disease but since bacteria reproduce lightening fast it wouldn't stay a bacterium for long
How do bacteria reproduce is?
Bacteria can reproduce sexually and asexually. Sexually, two bacteria are involved, but asexually, the bacterium divides on its own in a process similar to that of cellular mitosis.
If your bacteria reproduce every 20 minutes how many bacteria would you have at the end of twenty four hours assuming that you begin with one bacterium?
64x10^18 power or 64,000,000,000,000,000,000. 64 exa bacterium)
Do bacilli reproduce sexually or asexually?
The general answer is both. All types of bacteria (including bacilli) usually reproduce by simply dividing in two. This is called binary fission and it is a form of asexually reproduction. If conditions are just right, just one bacterium could become a billion (1,000,000,000) bacteria in just 10 hours through binary fission.But sometimes bacteria do have a form of sex called conjugation. One bacterium reaches out to another using a thread-like structure called a pilus. The first bacterium transfers part of its DNA to the other bacterium through the pilus. This is a form of sexually reproduction.
What is the definition of Chlamydia?
a very small parasitic bacterium that, like a virus, requires the biochemical mechanisms of another cell in order to reproduce.

How does simulation demonstrate these?
Antibiotic resistance is the ability of a bacterium or other microorganism to survive and reproduce in the presence of antibiotic doses that were previously thought effective against them.
Does gender matter in bacteria reproduction?
No, bacteria do not have gender because they are single-celled organisms that reproduce asexually through binary fission. Each individual bacterium can reproduce independently without the need for mating or gametes.
How bacteria's grow?
When people refer to bacteria growth it is actually about the amount of bacterium in a colony rather than the actual size of an individual bacterium increasing. Bacterium reproduce asexually through binary fission. This is when they basically just make a copy of their chromosome and then split. They reproduce sexually through conjunction. This is when they attach to one another using their pili, which are short hairlike structures on the outside of the cell. Through the pili they transfer a copy of a portion of their DNA. They then take on traits of the other cell. This helps to explain how bacterium can pass on drug resistance to one another.Bacteria is every were and you can get sick if you don't dust daily.
How many chromosomes does a bacterium have?
Bacteria do not have chromosomes. They have a small circular piece of DNA within the cell. The chromosome of a bacterium is the single molecule of circular DNA. It is also called as nucleoid.
