Question

Assertion: If one bacterium divides the two resultant bacteria divide again to

generate four individual bacteria which will be highly identical.

Reason: It is due to asexual reproduction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A is true but R is false

Explanation:

It is not due to asexual reproduction. It is due to variations.

Answer 2

Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion:

• Bacteria belong to the kingdom mineral and this kingdom include small organism that is prokaryotic, lacks a nucleus and most of them are unicellular.
• They have 70S ribosomes and can be aerobic and anaerobic.
• Examples are E.coli, nostoc, anaebaena, streptococcus, cyanobacteria, and treponema palladium.
• Reproduction is bacteria of both types: sexual as well as asexual. sexual reproduction in bacteria is by conjugation while asexual reproduction is by binary fission. sometimes asexual reproduction is by endo-spore formation due to unfavorable conditions.
• Identical organisms result in binary fission of asexual reproduction.
• In binary fission of asexual reproduction, one cell divides and then this cell again divides so, there is exponential fission of bacteria takes place.
