Document Summary

Eukaryotic microbes are different from bacteria and archaea in reproduction: many eukaryotic microbes have both asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction they reproduce by replicating their dna and making clones of themselves through mitosis. Sexual reproduction they make gametes through meiosis. They alter between haploid and diploid stages in their life cycle. Most bacterial and archaeal cells are haploid. The septum divides the parent cell into two progeny cells, each having its own chromosome and other cellular components. Some bacteria use other means of reproduction (instead of binary fission) Some bacteria that have stalks (called prostheca) reproduce by forming a bud at the end of their prostheca. The progeny cells (called baeocytes) are held within the cell wall of parent cells until they are released: other bacteria form multinucleoid filaments that divide to form uninucleoid spores. Even though there is diversity in the type of reproduction bacteria have, there are some characteristics between all these types that are similar.
