Q

How do bacteria RePRODUCE?

A

Bacteria reproduce by “binary fission. “ . in this process the bacterium divides into two identical daughter cells. “.binary fission” begins when the DNA of the bacterium splits into two replicates. The bacteria cell than elongates and splits into two daughter cells each with identical DNA as their parent cell.
