What is the primary method of multiplication (reproduction) in bacteria?

-✅Explanation: Binary fission is the primary method of reproduction in bacteria. In this process, a single bacterial cell divides into two identical daughter cells. The bacterial chromosome is duplicated, and the cell splits into two, each containing a copy of the original genetic material. The steps are:
-DNA replication: The bacterium duplicates its genetic material.
-Cell elongation: The cell grows larger.
-Cell division: The cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

📌Other Options Explanations:
-Budding: Some bacteria can reproduce by budding (forming a smaller outgrowth that separates).
-Fragmentation: Certain filamentous bacteria reproduce by breaking into smaller units.
-Parasexual: Refers to genetic recombination mechanisms in bacteria.

🛑 Additional Information::::
-Binary Fission:-​
-It is a kind of asexual reproduction in which the organism divides itself in two.
-It occurs in some single-celled Eukaryotes like the Amoeba and the Paramoecium.
-In binary fission, the fully grown parent cell splits into two halves, producing two pools.
-After replicating its genetic material, the parent cell divides into two equal sized daughter cells.
-The daughter cells are genetically identical.
