Answer:
A large percentage of microorganisms, the prokaryotes (those without a nucleus) reproduce asexually. Bacteria and archaea primarily reproduce using binary fission. One cell simply splits into two identical cells. If circumstances are right, some bacteria can split in just 20 minutes.
Explanation:
Asexual reproduction
1) Binary fission: Single parent cell doubles its DNA, then divides into two cells. Usually occurs in bacteria. 2) Budding: Small growth on surface of parent breaks off, resulting in the formation of two individuals.
