Among the Bacteria and Archaea, which process produces results that are most similar to the results of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes and why?
Answer
Binary fission, because it is used to produce identical daughter cells
Conjugation, because one cell trades genetic material directly with another cell
Transduction, because genes are added to the cell through an intermediary
Transformation, because the cell picks up genes from its environment

Conjugation is a special reproductive method in bacteria in which one bacteria exchanges its plasmid DNA to another bacteria via physical connection established by the help of sex pili. This is similar to sexual reproduction in higher animals.
