Archaea replicate asexually in a process known as binary fission. Archaea achieve a swimming motility via one or more tail-like flagellae. Many archaeans are extremophiles, achieving wide environmental tolerance of temperature, salinity, and even radioactive environments. read more
The external cell wall grows along with the membrane until the archaea is split into two identical organisms called daughter cells. In most cases, this is a gradual process, but some archaea use snapping division, in which the daughter cells snap apart after about two minutes of rapid vibration. read more
Binary fission is the primary reproduction process of archaea and bacteria It is a type of asexual reproduction and it features a completely grown cell that divides into two new cells that are identical to it. read more
