Reproduction of Archaebacteria
Archaeal bacteria do not have a nucleus, so it can not go through mitosis. In a means to reproduce, they procreate using binary fission. During the process multiple fission, the replication of the archaeal DNA occurs and the two strands are pulled apart. Archaeal chromosomes replicate using DNA polymerases that mirror complements eukaryotic enzymes. Protein FtsZ, the protein that directs cell division, forms a contracting ring around the cell. The factors of the septum build up across the center of the cell, mirror their bacterial similarities. (Hogan, 2011).

Binary fission is where a prokaryotic cell can divide into two different cells that are identical. This process is done very fast which allows the bacteria to be able to grow quickly in number. The process starts by copying the DNA of the bacteria. Then the transverse wall forms to help divide the cell. The transverse wall is made up of the plasma and cell wall that grow to eventually divide the cell. Once the cell divides it causes there to be two identical cells rather than just one (Berg, Martin, Solomon, 2008). Bacteria reproduce sexually through conjugation. The actual sexual reproduction is done through the step called conjugation. Conjugation is where two different bacteria cells come together and exchange genetic material. This is where the pili and plasmid are put into play. Each bacterial cell needs to have a specific and specialized plasmid and pili. The process starts by the one specialized pilus connecting with bacteria that does not have a specialized pilus. This connection is called a conjugation bridge. This how the genetic material is transferred between two cells of bacteria. The plasmid then makes a copy of itself and the copy is then transferred to the bacteria receiving the new plasmid. The pili then separate. This will allow the cell to be able to have more genetic variety when going through binary fission (Towle, 1999). There are also two other genetic recombination processes that will allow for there to be a transfer of genetic material. Transformation is where DNA is brought in from the outside of the cell. The new DNA brought in then replaces a part of the bacterium’s DNA that is similar. This will create more genetic diversity that will allow bacteria to have diversity. The other process is called transduction. This is where a phage will take bacteria genes and transfer them to another bacteria cell. The phage will then infect other bacteria cell and
