Trick question...it doesn't

100

Through spores

200

One reason bacteria do not grow too large and take over the world

Need right environment, need constant food, inner part of the colony dies because it cant get food/air/rid of waste

300

Briefly describe how viruses reproduce

Attach to a host, inject their DNA, the host now quickly replicates the virus DNA instead of it's own
