Detailed explanation-1: -“Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which an organism divides into two, each part carrying one copy of genetic material.”

Detailed explanation-2: -Bacteria reproduce asexually. In asexual reproduction, the “parent” produces a genetically identical copy of itself.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria reproduce primarily by binary fission, an asexual process whereby a single cell divides into two.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring. Sexual and asexual reproduction have advantages and disadvantages-which is why some organisms do both!

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two main forms: sexual and asexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.
