Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria and archaea reproduce asexually by splitting one cell into two equal halves in a process called binary fission (Figure 1).
Detailed explanation-2: -Most bacteria rely on binary fission for propagation. Conceptually this is a simple process; a cell just needs to grow to twice its starting size and then split in two.
Detailed explanation-3: -These microscopic organisms reproduce by asexual methods only. Asexual reproduction occurs by binary fission, wherein a cell divides into two and the formation of endospores occurs during unfavourable conditions. Sexual reproduction is unheard of in bacteria.
Detailed explanation-4: -3. Do all bacteria reproduce sexually or asexually? Even though bacteria are single-celled prokaryotic creatures, they do not have a male or female counterpart. Bacteria reproduce asexually.
Detailed explanation-5: -Transformation. Transduction. Conjugation.
