Binary fission
*is the normal method of reproduction
among bacteria.
*It means splitting into 2 EQUAL new
organisms.
Conjugation
may precede fission
In conjugation,
DNA passes from
one bacterium to
another through
a bridge of
cytoplasm.
In fission, after conjugation, the
offspring are different than the
original parent BUT identical
to each other.
