Question

Could I please get some help! . I have answered all the other questions for my assignment but this one has me. I know some of the differences and similarities but I can't figure out how to word them and make it make sense at the same time. If someone could help me, I'd really appreciate it! Thank you :). . Compare and contrast binary fission and conjugation; list at least two ways they are alike and two ways they are different.

Answer 1

They are both a simple form of reproduction in prokaryotic cells
They both involve multiplying by cytoplasmic and nuclear division.

Binary fission is the Asexual reproduction of an organism that causes it to divide into typically two cells

Conjugation is sexual reproduction by which two cells pair up, exchange nuclear material (micronuclei in the Paramecium) and then split twice by binary fission.

Conjugation have been proven to give organisms rejuvenation which gives then a boost in their survival and allows them to withstand a larger range of environments

hope this helps

Answer 2

Both conjugation and Binary fission are organism that splits into smaller part, also they are a prokaryotic cell which is a single cell organism. The difference between the two is that Binary fission does not have any change of genetic material in process while the conjugation occurs between 2 bodies
