Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotes (Archaea and Bacteria) reproduce asexually through binary fission, in which the parent organism divides in two to produce two genetically identical daughter organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular microbes replicate asexually and/or sexually. In asexual reproduction, a single microbe produces two identical offspring (clones) without the help of a partner. In sexual reproduction, two microbes mix their genetic information and so their offspring are genetically different.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -In other words, a bacterial cell reproduces by simply replicating its chromosome and dividing into two daughter cells. The daughter cells that result from this division are genetically identical to each other and to the original parent cell.
Detailed explanation-5: -Bacteria reproduce primarily by binary fission, an asexual process whereby a single cell divides into two.
