Solution

Most bacteria reproduce by binary fission.

Here are the steps of binary fission:

  1. The bacterium prepares for separation by duplicating its genetic material and expanding in size.

  2. The DNA is pulled to the separate ends of the bacterium as it continues to grow.

  3. A septum, or dividing wall, forms in the middle of the cell.

  4. The septum eventually closes in and completely separates the bacterium into two genetically identical daughter cells.

  5. The two daughter cells are now independent and can continue to grow and divide on their own.
