What is the process of bacterial reproduction called?

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 processes is used by bacteria to reproduce?

binary fission


Does mitosis or meiosis use bacteria to divide?

yes its how they reproduceBacteria do not have nucleus. So they cannot reproduce sexually. Just multiplication of cells occur

How can bacteria reproduce by fission?

Bacteria reproduce by a process called binary fission, where a single bacterium divides into two identical daughter cells. During fission, the bacterial chromosome replicates, and the two copies move to opposite ends of the cell. Then, the cell elongates, and a septum forms in the middle, dividing the cell into two. Finally, the cell membrane pinches inwards, resulting in the formation of two independent daughter cells.

Do females produce gametes?

Yes! bacteria can produce DNA as it also have genetic material in the form of DNA (plasmids) so as many time bacterial cell divide it produce DNA and intrestingly bacteria are used in many biotechnical process in which forigen DNA is incooperated in bacterial DNA for the production which then is isolated from the bacterial DNA.


What microscopic structure other than bacteria can be gram stained?
