Which of the following type of bacterial replication is most similar to mitosis?
Correct answer: B. Binary fission
- A. Transduction
- B. Binary fission
- C. Conjugation
- D. Transformation
Explanation
Binary fission is the most similar type of bacterial replication to mitosis. It is the process by which bacteria reproduce asexually. During binary fission, a bacterial cell replicates its DNA and elongates. Then, the cell wall and cell membrane constrict, dividing the cell into two identical daughter cells. Each daughter cell receives a copy of the original cell's genetic material. This process is analogous to the division of a eukaryotic cell during mitosis, where the genetic material is duplicated, and the cell divides into two daughter cells.
