Which best describes the different modes of bacterial reproduction?

a. in binary fission, the two new cells that are formed are susceptible to the same antibiotic.

b. in conjugation, bacterial dna is transferred from one bacterium to another by a replicating virus.

c. in transduction, the cells that are formed are susceptible to the same antibiotic.

d. in transformation, a special sex pilus is required to connect two bacterial cells.

The correct answer is option A. "In binary fission, the two new cells that are formed are susceptible to the same antibiotic".

Explanation:

Binary fission is the most common form of reproduction used by bacteria. Binary fission is a kind of asexual reproduction, at which the microorganism replicates its genetic material. Since binary fission does not involve any genetic recombination step, the two new cells that result from this process are susceptible to the same antibiotic.

the answer is "a.) well–developed vascular system."

explanation:

layer 3 is younger than layer 6.
