Today we covered Section CB.3: Bacterial Reproduction and Conjugation.
Learning Objectives:
- Students will be able to explain how bacteria divide asexually by binary fission and understand what factors limit their growth.
- Students will be able to explain how bacteria increase their genetic diversity through the process of conjugation.
Did you know that bacterial replicate so quickly that if a single bacterium were able to replicate every 15 minutes unchecked, the colony would weigh more than the Earth after 2 days!
Please make sure that you review the learning objectives above!
