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.

Is bacterial endosporulation a reproductive mechanism?

No. Endosporulation is the process where bacteria encapsulates itself within an endospore - it's a form of protection against an extreme range environmental stressors. Sporulation on the other hand is the act of producing spores of the bacteria, and that IS a reproductive mechanism.


What is the proces of sporulation?

In bacteria, sporulation is the process of endospore formation which takes place inside Gram positive bacteria.


Is sporulation a mitosis?

sporangium bears number of spores which are formed by process of asexual reproduction by process of mitosis


How does physarum polycephalum reproduce?

Physarum polycephalum reproduces asexually by forming spores through a process called sporulation. During sporulation, the organism forms sporangia that release spores, which can germinate and grow into new individuals. Physarum polycephalum can also form sexual reproductive structures when two compatible individuals come into contact, leading to the exchange of genetic material.


Sporulation produces less offspring than budding?

No, sporulation produces more offspring.


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.


What is the reproductive process for a cell?

reproductive cells


What bacterial infection that affects the reproductive organs of both males and females?

What is the process of transferring pollen from the reproductive structure to a female reproductive structure?

The process of pollination.


Sporulation usually occurs in response to what?

Sporulation is the process for bacteria that results in the production of an endospore. When bacteria are in a hostile environment, they produces dormant bodies known as endospores. Sporulation enables the bacteria to survive in hostile environments until a more suitable environment is available.


Is the process of transferring pollen from a male reproductive structure to a female reproductive structure?

The process of pollination.


What is the reproductive cycle of bacteria?

Bacterial cells divide by binary fission, which is preceded by replication of the bacterial chromosome. From a single origin of replication, DNA synthesis progresses in both directions around the circular chromosome.
