Under ideal conditions, bacterial populations can double every 20 minutes. such rapid population growth is an adaptation to an unstable environment. explain why.

Bacterial populations adapt quickly in a unstable environment because of binary fission, which is a type of asexual reproduction that causes the parent cell to split into two daughter cells. Rapid growth is important for bacteria in an unstable environment so it assures survival.

the cell cycle is the final answer! : )
