Question

bacteria grow by: sexual reproduction budding dividing in two

Explanation:

Bacteria are prokaryotes. They reproduce asexually. Sexual reproduction involves the combination of genetic material from two parents, which is not the case for bacteria. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud on the parent organism. This is common in yeast, not bacteria. Bacteria reproduce by binary fission (dividing in two), where one cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

Answer:

dividing in two
