Bacteria grow through a process called binary fission, which is like splitting in half. First, a single bacterial cell replicates its genetic material. Then, the cell wall and membrane stretch and pinch inwards, dividing the cell into two identical daughter cells. These daughter cells continue to grow and divide, forming a colony of bacteria. Bacteria need suitable environmental conditions, such as warmth, moisture, nutrients, and pH balance, to grow and multiply effectively.
