Title: Re: Why are bacteria able to evolve so quickly? Post by: duddy on Aug 21, 2012 Binary fission is a rapid process. Some bacteria have the ability to divide via binary fission every 20 minutes. This rapid rate of division allows for mutations to occur much more quickly than would happen with eukaryotic cells.
