True or false? Bacteria are unicellular. This means that when they divide by binary fission they're also reproducing as each new cell is a separate organism.
true
false
|
When bacteria divide by binary fission, is it an example of asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction?
asexual reproduction
sexual reproduction
|
Which two things must a bacterial cell do before it can divide?
(Select all that apply)
photosynthesis
differentiate
replicate its genetic material
grow
|
Once a bacterial cell has grown and replicated its genetic material, it is ready to divide by binary fission.
Describe the stages of this process.

During binary fission, are the plasmids always split equally between the two new cells?
yes
no
|

A type of bacteria have a division time of 20 minutes. If the population starts with just one cell, how many bacteria cells would be there after 1h?
|
Which three conditions do bacteria require for fast growth?
(Select all that apply)
dry
warm
plenty of nutrients
moist
