They reproduce by Process called BINARY FISSION

Binary fission begins with DNA replication. DNA replication starts from an origin of replication, which opens up into a replication bubble (note: prokaryotic DNA replication usually has only 1 origin of replication, whereas eukaryotes have multiple origins of replication). The replication bubble separates the DNA double strand, each strand acts as template for synthesis of a daughter strand by semiconservative replication, until the entire prokaryotic DNA is duplicated.

After this replicational process, cell growth occurs.

Each circular DNA strand then attaches to the cell membrane. The cell elongates, causing the two chromosomes to separate.

Cell division in bacteria is controlled by the FtsZ, a collection of about a dozen proteins that collect around the site of division. There, they direct assembly of the division septum. The cell wall and plasma membrane starts growing transversely from near the middle of the dividing cell. This separates the parent cell into two nearly equal daughter cells, each having a nuclear body.

The cell membrane then invaginates (grows inwards) and splits the cell into two daughter cells, separated by a newly grown cell plate.

What are the two basic categories of reproduction?

Sexual and Asexual. Sexual reproduction requires that two cells (sperm and egg) unite to produce the first cell of the new organism. Asexual reproduction is a single organism that can reproduce without the aid of another.


Does asexual reproduction contribute to sexual variation?

No. Asexual reproduction provides no diversity, as it creates an exact copy of the organism. Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, provides diversity by using and combining different genes each time to create an entirely new version of the organism.


What are two basic requirements for bacteria?

Two basic requirements for bacteria to thrive are a suitable environment and nutrients. They need an appropriate temperature, pH, and moisture level to grow, along with access to essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and minerals. These factors support their metabolic processes and reproduction.


What are the 5 basic parts of bacteria?

In terms of structure,5 basic parts are:cell membranecytoplasmic matrixnucleoidplasmidribosomesthese structures are present in all bacteria so they are the essential(basic) components of bacteria


What organism reproduce by vegetative reproduction?

Regeneration isn't really a form of reproduction. There are some animals organisms that are able to regenerate lost body parts. For example many lizards are able to regenerate lost tails. However, please read later notes on Fragmentation.There are two basic types of reproduction. Sexual and Asexual.Most multicellular organisms reproduce with Sexual reproduction. I.E. requiring both male and female components to reproduce in which half of the genes are contributed by the male and half contributed by the female. Even flowers use pollination for sexual reproduction.Asexual reproduction is generally done by smaller unicellular organisms, for example bacteria and yeasts. There are methods for bacteria to share genes using plasmids, and transformation.A subset of asexual reproduction is Fragmentation. This is where a chunk of cells can be broken off and reproduce the whole (or a similar) organism. For example with many plants you can cut starts off, plant them, and essentially the original plant will grow back. Starfish, as well as many molds and fungi can also reproduce using fragmentation.

How bacteria reproduce?

Bacteria reproduce using two basic methods: Asexual reproduction and Sexual reproduction. Bacteria can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Sexual reproduction involves the joining of two parents and the exchanging of genetic materials. Asexual reproduction involves only one individual or parent. The offspring generated by asexual reproduction are exact duplicates of the parents.Binary Fission is the process by which a bacteria splits into two cells. Each cell gets an exact copy of the parent cell's genetic material. I hope this answered your question! <3


What is the basic difference between sexual and asexual reproduction?

In asexual reproduction, there is only one parent, and the offspring only receives one set of genes. It is identical to the parent. In sexually reproduction, there are two parents, and the offspring receives two sets of genes, one from each parent, which can be in any combination. The male sex cell must fertilize the female sex cell.


What is the basic difference between asexual reproduction and bisexual reproduction?

Asexual reproduction is when an organism produces offspring by itself-not many animals possess this trait. Technically, there is no such thing a "bisexual" reproduction. If you mean sexual reproduction, its when a sperm of a male, carrying half of a genetic code, fertilizes the egg of a female, which is carrying the other half of the genetic code. The genes created are specific to your gender, so only a sperm and egg can produce a cell with 23 chrosome pairs, not two sperm or two eggs.


What of these processes is charaistics of sexual reproductions?

Sexual reproduction is one of the two basic processes by which organisms reproduce, asexual reproduction being the other. Sexual reproduction takes two, a female and a male, each of whom contributes a gamete, the egg and the sperm, which unite to create a zygote containing the genetic information from both parents.

What is the function of mitosis?

The function of mitosis is simply to replicate or reproduce the cell - the most basic act of any organism. Also, growth of the organism and tissue repair, to ensure that each new cell receives a complete set of genetic information, asexual reproduction in some species.


Is bacteria alive?

Yes, bacteria are considered living organisms because they fulfill the basic criteria for life, which include metabolism, growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and adaptation to the environment. They also possess genetic material and can evolve over time.

Bacteria are the simplest single cells that do what?

Bacteria are the simplest single-cell organisms that carry out essential life processes such as metabolism, reproduction, and response to the environment. They play crucial roles in nutrient cycling, decomposition, and symbiotic relationships in various ecosystems.
