Sexual reproduction doesn't exist in bacteria but bacterial conjugation does. DNA transfer between bacterial cells typically involves small pieces of DNA in the form of plasmids or chromosomal fragments. These new fragments can give antibiotic resistance and other genes that are helpful to the bacteria.

What is a example of sexual reproduction?

Each of us is an example of sexual reproduction. At some point, our parents had sexual intercourse and we are the end product of that, we are their reproduction of themselves.


Who among the organism reproduce sexual and asexual?

Some organisms reproduce by sexual reproduction (such as horses, cattle, donkeys etc.) and some others reproduce asexually (such as bacteria) So it depends on what organisms you are talking about.


What is it called when offspring are produced from two parents?

I believe you are thinking of sexual reproduction. The opposite of sexual reproduction is asexual reproduction which occurs when offspring are produced without a male. Asexual reproduction is common among certain plants and single-celled organisms like bacteria and protists. Some species of animal can switch back and forth between sexual and asexual reproduction. Turkeys are a good example of this. Female turkeys can produce fertilized eggs in the absence of a male. Aphids are also capable of producing young in the absence of a male.


What organisms have sexual reproduction?

Many organisms have sexual reproduction, including animals, plants, fungi, and some bacteria. This process involves the fusion of male and female gametes to create offspring with genetic variation.


What is fission reproduction?

Fission reproduction is a form of asexual reproduction where an organism splits into two or more parts, each of which can grow into a complete organism. It is common in simple organisms like bacteria and some single-celled organisms.

Would you give me a sentence using the word sexual reproduction?

Animals use sexual reproduction while bacteria and some plants use asexual reproduction.


What is some ways that new species form?

Mitosis, Meiosis, Asexual reproduction and Sexual reproduction


Is bacteria asexual sexual or both?

Bacteria can reproduce through asexual means such as binary fission, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Some bacteria can also exchange genetic material with other bacteria through a process called conjugation, which is a form of sexual reproduction in bacteria.


How many parents are there in sexual reproduction in bacteria?

most bacteria (and single celled organisms at that) are asexual in that they reproduce by themselves. There are some bacteria with 2 parents tho

What are some words that mean sexual reproduction?

Some synonyms for sexual reproduction include procreation, mating, and breeding.


Why is conjugation considered a form of sexual reproduction?

I am studying Microbiology in school currently. According to my understanding, conjugation is not a form sexual reproduction, instead, it is asexual reproduction. Reason being, conjugation only involves transfer of genetic information which is the same as sexual reproduction which involves the fusion of garmetes (sex cells)/equal exchange of genetic material. Hope my answer is helpful. But now, I have a question. Why is conjugation considered a form reproduction when it does not even produce a new offspring?

What is the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction, and can you provide examples of each type of reproduction?

Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two sex cells (sperm and egg) from two different parents, resulting in genetic variation in offspring. Asexual reproduction involves a single parent producing offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Examples of sexual reproduction include humans, animals, and most plants. Examples of asexual reproduction include bacteria, some plants, and certain animals like starfish.


What are some advantages to sexual reproduction?

Its hella fun. and genetic diversity. Some argue that the evolutionary process is more expressed in species using sexual reproduction.
