Which best describes the different modes of bacterial reproduction? In genetic recombination, two new genetically identical cells are produced. In conjugation, a special sex pilus is required to connect two bacterial cells. In transduction, a bacterium exchanges a piece of its own DNA with another from the environment. In transformation, bacterial DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a replicating virus.

A. In genetic recombination, two new genetically identical cells are produced.

Explanation:

There are several methods of reproduction in bacteria inlcuding vegetative, sexual and asexual methods.

Genetic recombination best describes reproduction in bacteria as in this process DNA is tranferred from one organism (donor) to another organism (recepient). genetic recombination then include three techniques conjugation, transduction and tranformation. These all three techniques include tranfer of DNA in different ways, hence genetic recombination combinely describe the reprodution in bacteria. Genetic recombnation produces two new genetically identical cell.

Hence, the correct option is A.

it's not c. i took the quiz and got it wrong. so my best guess is b.

have a great day, and hope this .
