Explanation:

Bacteria usually divides by fission. This produces offspring that are the exact copies of the parent unless a mutation occurs in the offspring.

Occasionally, however, bacteria cells exchange genetic material through conjugation. This exchange is akin to crossing over in higher organisms, result in genetic recombination of the bacterial DNA. This increases genetic diversity of the bacteria cells in the population. This genetic diversity improves the population's success in adapting to changes in the environment.
