Most Bacteria Reproduce By

Question

Most bacteria reproduce by:
A)sexual reproduction
B)binary fission
C)budding
D)homologous recombination

Accepted Answer

Binary fission is the most common form of reproduction in bacteria where the cell divides into two identical cells. Asexual reproduction (choice A) can occur through binary fission, but it is not the specific method of reproduction. Budding (choice C) is a form of asexual reproduction seen in some yeasts, but not in most bacteria. Homologous recombination (choice D) involves genetic exchange between two different cells and is not a method of reproduction.
