A culture of bacteria in a nutrient-rich broth undergoes rapid population expansion under optimal environmental conditions. Which mechanism is primarily responsible for the asexual reproduction and multiplication of these prokaryotic organisms?
- Binary fission, resulting in two genetically identical daughter cellsCevap
- BMitotic division involving spindle apparatus assembly and nuclear membrane breakdown
- CGermination of reproductive spores formed by cellulose cell wall cleavage
- DReplication by assembling protein capsids inside host cytoplasm
Cevap
Binary fission, resulting in two genetically identical daughter cells
In Kingdom Monera, bacteria reproduce asexually under favorable conditions through binary fission. The single circular chromosome replicates, attaches to the plasma membrane, and the cell elongates before invaginating to yield two genetically identical cells.
