Question

A bacterium is in a nasty environment. What sort of reproduction would it use in this situation? Why? How else would it protect itself? (hint: what were those special capsules called and why were they special?)

Answer 1

The bacteria in nasty environment undergoes multiple fission.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacteria is a unicellular prokaryotic organisms that are found in each and every places of the world. They can survive in extremes of temperatures and pH. They can save themselves through special processes in the extreme climates.

The bacteria undergoes multiple fission in these climates. They cover themselves up with a strong and tough capsule inside which they undergo several Binary fissions. This leads to the formation of multiple cells enclosed with a capsule.

With the return of the favourable climate, the capsule rupture and these newly formed cells come out.
