What is the primary method of reproduction in bacteria? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand that bacteria are single-celled organisms.
  • Step 2: Learn that bacteria reproduce without needing a partner, which is called asexual reproduction.
  • Step 3: Know that the main way bacteria reproduce is through a process called binary fission.
  • Step 4: In binary fission, one bacterial cell grows larger and then splits into two identical cells.
  • Step 5: Each of the two new cells is a clone of the original cell, meaning they have the same genetic material.
