Understand that bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, which means they do not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles.
Recognize that bacteria reproduce asexually, meaning they do not require a partner to reproduce.
Identify that the process used by bacteria to divide and reproduce is called binary fission.
Binary fission involves the replication of the bacterial DNA, followed by the division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two genetically identical daughter cells.
Note that binary fission is different from meiosis and mitosis, which are processes used by eukaryotic cells for reproduction and cell division.
