Question: What is the most common method of asexual reproduction in bacteria?

Options:

Fission (Binary Fission)
Endospores
Conidia
Cysts

-✅Explanation: Binary fission is the most common mode of asexual reproduction in bacteria. In this process, a single bacterial cell replicates its DNA, creates a copy of its chromosome, and divides into two identical daughter cells.

📌Other Options Explanations:
-(b) Endospores: Some bacteria can form endospores, which are dormant and highly resistant structures. However, endospore formation is a survival strategy. Endospores can germinate back into vegetative cells under favorable conditions.
-(c) Conidia: Conidia are asexual spores produced by fungi.
-(d) Cysts: Cyst formation can occur in some bacteria under stress conditions.

🛑 Additional Information::::

• Binary Fission:
-It is asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies.
-Under this, an organism duplicates its genetic material, and then divides into two parts (cytokinesis), with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA.
-Binary fission is seen in Single-celled organisms like protozoa.
