The most common bacterial reproduction is by Binary Fission, which is the use of mitosis to create two identical cells from one. Rarely, bacteria can reproduce sexually (ie using meiosis to create genetically different daughter cells) but this is not the most widely used mechanism.

What is the process of adding foreign DNA to a bacterial cell called?
The process of adding foreign DNA to a bacterial cell is called Bacterial Transformation. It is a technique used very frequently in molecular Biology labs.Ê
What process uses a body cell to create a new organism?
a man and lady have a baby!reproduction
How can one slow the reproductive process of bacteria?
Bacterial reproduction can be slowed by increasing or decreasing the pH, providing them nutrient deficient medium. In process of reproduction, they also require phosphorus and iron. If there is an increase in pH they won't be able to assimilate iron and phosphorus.
Why is bacterial sporulation not a reproductive process?
The simple answer: the mother cell does not survive, i.e. no net increase in the population is attained. In bacterial reproduction, two daughter cells are produced, in sporulation, only one spore is made.
What asexual reproduction process involves an organism growing a duplicate of itself on its bod?
This process is called budding.
The type of bacterial reproduction that is most similar to sexual reproduction is called?
conjugation
When one bacterium split in the middle to form two bacteria what is it?
This process is called binary fission. Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single bacterium divides into two identical daughter cells. It is the most common method of bacterial reproduction.
What term is used to describe bacterial replication?
Bacterial reproduction most commonly occurs by a kind of cell division called binary fission. Binary fission results in the formation of two bacterial cells that are genetically identical.
What is a flower reproduction process called?
pollination
Two bacterial cells temporarily join and transfer genetic material?
Yes, this process process is called bacterial conjugation.

Asexual reproduction
