What do you mean by single? A bacteria reproduces by binary fission creating two identical offspring with a very low mutation rate. Is the left organism the original or the right? Bacteria have progeny and the amount of progeny is due to the availability of nutrients in the environment. One bacteria could give rise to many progeny that continue to give rise to other progeny. However, it has not been studied how many progeny a single bacteria could give rise to. Are they immortal? Do they die after 100 generations?
Yeast replicate by budding and after every offspring a scar is left over. Once the yeast is covered in scars, it will die and not replicate. Bacteria are different and replicate, as mentioned before, by binary fission. To test this hypothesis is to follow one strand of DNA until the bacteria containing it dies. That stand is from the original organism and is technically the "god father" of all the progeny. This experiment seems practical, but has not been done.

What are the differences between bacteria and humans?
There are many differences * Bacteria are microscopic while human is not. * Bacteria are prokaryotes. Human is eukaryote. * Bacteria has a cell wall. * Bacteria are the earliest known organisms on earth.
What describes all existing bacteria?
All existing bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms characterized by their single-celled structure, lack of a nucleus, and simple organization. They possess a cell wall, primarily composed of peptidoglycan, and reproduce asexually through binary fission. Bacteria exhibit tremendous diversity in shape, metabolism, and habitat, allowing them to thrive in various environments, from extreme conditions to the human body. They play crucial roles in ecosystems, including nutrient cycling, decomposition, and as part of the human microbiome.
What condition do bacteria bacteria thrive?
From a very general standpoint, bacteria like warm, dark places. -- warm being approximated human body temperature (98.6 degrees F)
How are protists like bacteria?
Protists and bacteria are both microorganisms that are typically single-celled. However, protists are eukaryotic, meaning they have a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, while bacteria are prokaryotic and lack a nucleus. Protists also tend to be more complex in structure and function compared to bacteria.
What is bacteria preferred environment?
Bacteria prefer environments that are warm, moist, and rich in nutrients. They can thrive in a wide range of conditions, including soil, water, human bodies, and food sources. Balanced ecosystems with ample resources typically provide ideal environments for bacteria to grow and reproduce.
Does bacteria reproduce when it enters the human body?
Yes, that's why bacterial diseases are so dangerous.
What are the differences between bacteria and humans?
There are many differences * Bacteria are microscopic while human is not. * Bacteria are prokaryotes. Human is eukaryote. * Bacteria has a cell wall. * Bacteria are the earliest known organisms on earth.
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.
How smelly can a fart get?
The odor in human gas is because the intestines contain normal bacteria, especially E-Coli. Bacteria give off gases as they grow and reproduce. It is not possible to eliminate the smell associated with human gas.
Single-celled organisms are very common?
They have Millions of bacteria live on the human body.
What organism that has only one cell?
Most bacteria are single cell organisms.
Where in the body do bacteria reproduce?
Hi yes Bacterias can reproduce.Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms that reproduce asexually. 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.
Why do transgenic bacteria that have the gene for human insulin produce insulin produce in great abundance?
bacteria reproduce quickly. The more transgenic bacteria there are, the more insulin is produced. (I am taking an online Biology course and this question was asked, and this was the answer the online class gave me)
What are the similarities between bacteria viruses and yeast?
All three, viruses, protists, and bacteria, reproduce asexually. However, bacteria replicates through binary fission, while viruses reproduce through replication. Protists are also capable of reproducing sexually.
How do you make bacteria in Doodle God?
Swamp+life=bacteria
Why can Bacteria are able to produce human proteins?
They reproduce quickly, so they often produce much of the desired protein in a short time.
What are the genetic differences between bacteria cells and human body cells?
One key genetic difference is the presence of a nucleus in human cells, which bacteria lack. Human cells have linear chromosomes enclosed within the nucleus, while bacteria have a single circular chromosome located in the cytoplasm. Additionally, bacteria may have plasmids, small circular DNA molecules that are often absent in human cells.
