Chapter 20, Problem 5SQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Bacteria and Archaea are the smaller prokaryotes that reproduce through binary fission (prokaryotic fission). Binary fission is one of the asexual modes of reproduction. Their occurrence is specifically characterized in bacteria and some eukaryotes. It is a process where one cell gets equally distributed into two cells. Therefore, binary fission is not involved in the process of lysing the host cell.
