How do bacteria reproduce? Most bacteria reproduce by binary fission. In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two (replicates)


Single celled organisms like bacteria reproduce by a typical asexual method of reproduction known as binary fission, this is where a single cell grows in size and duplicates its genetic information and then separates to produce 2 new cells.
