8. STATION #7 BACTERIA REPRODUCTION
Prokaryotic cells, such as Eubacteria and Archaea, are smaller and simpler then eukaryotic cells, like animal cells. They reproduce through a much simpler process called binary fission. They can also exchange genetic material through a process called bacterial conjugation. This station you will compare the two processes.
Bacterial Conjugation
Go to the following link. Watch the animation and answer the 5 question quiz afterwards. Record your score on your student handout.
If you still need help comparing the two processes, visit the following link:
