Just one parent involved Offspring identical-no diversity Many microscopic organisms reproduce in this way Asexual Reproduction
5 types of asexual reproduction • 1) Binary Fission • 2) Spore Formation • 3) Budding • 4) Vegetative propogation • 5) Regeneration
Binary fission *is the normal method of reproduction among bacteria. *It means splitting into 2 EQUAL new organisms.
Conjugation may precede fission In conjugation, DNA passes from one bacterium to another through a bridge of cytoplasm. In fission, after conjugation, the offspring are different than the original parent BUT identical to each other.
