How do they reproduce?
Bacteria reproduce asexually and through a process called binary fission, in which a single cells divides into two identical daughter cells. The bacteria continues on this way. Each daughter cell becoming a single cell and splitting off again to have its own daughter cells. Each daughter cell is a clone of its parent cell. Depending on the condition in which the bacteria is growing, the bacteria will either divide at a slower or faster pace. In conditions of warmer temperature, bacteria will often divide faster, which is one reason we can easily catch illness if they enter our bodies.
