How Do Bacteria Reproduce?

Binary fission results in the formation of two bacterial cells that are genetically identical.
Binary fission is an effective way for bacteria to reproduce, however it does introduce problems.
Since the cells produced through this type of reproduction are identical, they are all susceptible to the same types of antibiotics.
Through bacterial recombination, bacteria can gain genetic variation by incorporating genes from other bacteria.

Great people , great designers………to give like this great site.
thank you all.
Iam grateful to all those who are sharing their experiences ,knowledge with us. My duty to them is to ask the Almighty GOD to protect them always. When ,iam taking these lessons in, tears of joy and satisfaction are flowing on my innocent face. Who are those people ?
You are sent to us by the almighty .
Thanks.
Well, if bacteria gains genetic variation that can make it to be more resistant to phagocytosis if that bacterium is phathogenic, depending on the type of species. Also, this will increase the probabilty of bacteria to tolerate harsh environmental conditions or become virulent.
Please correct me if I am wrong but all in all, Thank for the wonderful site.
