Study Notes

Bacteria Reproduction

Bacteria reproduce asexually, lacking true nuclei and sexes
They reproduce by binary fission (splitting into two), budding (bulging and detaching), or spore formation (endospores)
Binary fission is a rapid process, doubling bacterial numbers every 20 minutes under ideal conditions
Budding is a less common method where a protrusion grows to equal the parent cell's size and then detaches
Endospores are resistant resting cells. They form at the end of active growth and have low metabolic activity
