Answer:
Because bacteria reproduce through asexually through binary fission, It’s likely that all of the offspring created by bacteria with this gene will be resistant to the medication
Explanation:
Asexual reproduction is the method of formation of new progeny by a single parent without any gametic fusion. Bacterial reproduce by asexual methods such as binary fission which does not add new genetic variations and maintains the existing gene combinations of parents into the progeny. Hence, all the progeny of bacteria having antibiotic resistance will also exhibit the same trait.
