Answer: False

Explanation:

There are two types of reproduction asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. Bacteria performs binary fission which is a asexual mode of reproduction.

In this process a single bacterial cells divides into two and it is exactly the same as like of their parent cell. Genetically and phenotipically, the daughter cell is same as like that of the parent cell.
