In the context of organic chemistry, how are bacterial offspring typically produced?
A
Through binary fission
B
By meiosis
C
Through mitosis
D
By budding
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context: The question is about how bacterial offspring are produced, which involves understanding bacterial reproduction methods.
Recall that bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, meaning they do not have a nucleus and their cell division process is different from eukaryotic organisms.
Identify the common methods of reproduction in prokaryotes: Bacteria typically reproduce asexually through a process called binary fission.
Differentiate between the options: Meiosis and mitosis are processes associated with eukaryotic cell division. Meiosis is involved in sexual reproduction, while mitosis is for growth and repair in eukaryotes. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction seen in some eukaryotes like yeast.
Conclude that binary fission is the correct method for bacterial reproduction, as it involves the replication of the bacterial DNA and division of the cell into two identical offspring cells.
