Question

What reproductive process do bacteria use by forming two identical cells from one parent cell?

Answer 1

This is a kind of an asexual reproduction called binary fission. This involves division of the parent cell into two identical cells. This is common for prokaryotic reproduction like archaea and bacteria and it also happens in some single-celled eukaryotes such as protists and unicellular fungi.

Answer 2

binary fission Binary fission is the process through which asexual reproduction happens in bacteria. During binary fission, a single organism becomes two independent organisms. Binary fission also describes the duplication of organelles in eukaryotes.
