Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Bacteria do not reproduce sexually; they have one set of genes rather than two, and their cells simply divide-they never fuse with each other like eggs and sperm.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
