a) The process in which an organism reproduces by splitting into two copies of nearly equal size is called binary fission.
b) The type of reproduction in which offspring form on the surface of the parent is called budding.
a) Asexual reproduction results in two organisms with the same DNA.
a) If a bacterium can survive in high temperatures, its daughter cells are more likely to be able to survive in high temperatures.
A) In the process where an organism reproduces by splitting into two copies of nearly equal size, this is called binary fission. Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction commonly seen in single-celled organisms, such as bacteria and archaea. To identify this process as the correct answer, you can recall that binary fission involves the organism dividing into two identical copies of itself.
B) In the type of reproduction where offspring form on the surface of the parent, this is known as budding. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction where a small outgrowth (bud) forms on the parent organism and eventually detaches to become an independent organism. To select the correct answer, you can remember that budding involves the offspring remaining attached to the parent before separating.
C) Asexual reproduction results in two organisms with the same parents. Asexual reproduction involves the production of offspring that are genetically identical or near-identical to the parent organism. This is because there is no fusion of genetic material from two different parents, as seen in sexual reproduction.
D) If a bacterium can survive in high temperatures, its daughter cells can also survive in high temperatures. Bacteria reproduce through binary fission, and during this process, the parent cell divides to form genetically identical daughter cells. If the parent bacterium is adapted to survive in high temperatures, it is likely that the daughter cells will inherit these thermotolerance traits and also be able to survive in high temperatures.
