reproduction
BACTERIA release harmful toxins. VIRUSES take over your cells completely and make copies of themselves! : )
When a population of bacteria is bombarded with antibiotics, the 'weak' ones will die. The ones with some resistance built in will survive, and divide to form a new population of copies of themselves, or a resistant population. This in itself is survival of the fittest in a very pure form.
Yes, that is the meaning of the name " bacteriophage. " " bacteria eater. " Though they hijack the metabolic and replicative process of bacteria to replicate themselves and not actually eat the bacteria.
If reproduce means producing offspring/copies of itself, then yes. If reproduce means reproducing sexually (not asexually), then no. Bacteria reproduce through asexual reproduction -- making exact copies of themselves.
Reproduction
Mitosis
A virus.
Polymerase chain reaction
Yes, chromosomes make copies of themselves through a process called DNA replication. During cell division, each chromosome is duplicated to ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical set of genetic material.
Mitosis
it occurs when a cell copies its genetic material and splits into two.
