Answer:

binary fission

Explanation:

Binary fission is the main type of reproduction of prokaryotic organisms. In binary fission, the prokaryotic cell first duplicates its DNA and then divides into two cells, each one receiving one complete DNA molecule. Since binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction, this process increases the prevalence of beneficial mutations in a bacterial population. Moreover, transduction refers to the process by which a virus transfers genetic information from one bacterium to another bacterium. Conjugation is also a sexual mode of transfer of DNA from a donor (F+) to a recipient (F−) bacterial cell by direct cell-to-cell contact. Finally, transformation refers to the transfer of genetic material by which bacteria take up exogenous DNA from the environment and integrate it in their genomes.

Suppose you are an astronomer, and a child asks you to explain how long it takes light to travel through space. In your own word
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Ok so I would start by saying that light has a maximum speed, then explain that because space is so big we measure it's distance in light years and which means how light travels in a year at 186,282 miles per second Put that in perspective my saying If you could travel at the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second. Tell them Sunlight takes about 8 minutes 19 seconds to reach the Earth and that it can take millions or more light years for more distance stars light to reach our telescopes .
