Which shows cell reproduction seen in bacteria?
a
Mitosis
b
Bacteria use all three methods for cell division.
c
Binary fission
d
Meiosis
The correct answer is c) Binary fission.
Mitosis is a form of cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells, where the parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This process is not seen in bacteria.
Bacteria primarily reproduce through binary fission, which is a simple form of asexual reproduction where the parent cell divides into two daughter cells of equal size.
Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells, but it is specifically involved in the formation of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) and not in bacterial reproduction.
Therefore, the image that shows cell reproduction seen in bacteria is c) Binary fission.
