Correct option (a) neither syngamy nor reduction division
Explanation:
Bacteria reproduce asexually by transverse binary fission, conidia, budding, cyst and sporulation. No true sexual reproduction (involving the formation of gametes, their fusion and meiosis) is known to occur in bacteria. However, in bacteda the transfer of genetic material from a donor to recipient cell to bring genetic recombinations/variations is reported that occurs not through gametes/sex cells, but by other methods like conjugation, transduction and transformation. it does. not result in any multiplication of cells.
