How do bacteria multiply?

Bacteria are fairly simple organisms, but they are capable of actively multiplying. Otherwise, bacteria would not exist in principle, and accordingly nothing living, due to the impossibility of the evolutionary process. Bacteria can multiply in three ways. The most common is halving. Budding, the more difficult second way. The cell does not divide, but rather grows a new bacterium from itself. And the third way is conjugation. This is essentially a sexual process. Here you need two cells that will give birth to offspring.
