-Binary fission is the form of asexual reproduction and cell division used by prokaryotic organisms (such as bacteria or archea). A prokaryotic cell by divides into two parts, and each half has the potential to grow to the size of the original cell.

-Bacterial conjugation is the transfer of genetic material between bacteria through direct cell-to-cell contact. It is merely the transfer of genetic information from a donor cell to a recipient. In order to perform conjugation, one of the bacteria, the donor, must play host to a conjugative or mobilizable genetic element, most often a conjugative or mobilizable plasmid or transposon. Most conjugative plasmids have systems ensuring that the recipient cell does not already contain a similar element.

Binary Fission- asexual
Conjugation- sexual

It's pretty confusing at the least really.

List what Eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells have.
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Summary

All cells have a plasma membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and DNA.

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound structures.

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound structures called organelles.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic Cells

Eukaryotic cells usually have multiple chromosomes, composed of DNA and protein. Some eukaryotic species have just a few chromosomes, others have close to 100 or more. These chromosomes are protected within the nucleus. In addition to a nucleus, eukaryotic cells include other membrane-bound structures called organelles. Organelles allow eukaryotic cells to be more specialized than prokaryotic cells. below are the organelles of eukaryotic cells , including the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus.

Prokaryotic cells are usually smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells. They do not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles. In prokaryotic cells, the DNA, or genetic material, forms a single large circle that coils up on itself. The DNA is located in the main part of the cell.

djyliett [7]
Most cells in the body are diploids, germ line diploid cells will undergo meiosis to produce gametes. Fertilization following, the gametophyte phase is haploid and the part of the life cycle in which gametes are produced by mitosis of haploid cells.

Why would an animal cell burst if it is surrounded by fresh water?
amm1812
If an animal cell is surrounded by fresh water, the water will move within the cell causing the cell to become turgid and eventually will burst.

Therefore the most suitable answer is option D.
