Answer:

Since all forms of bacteria are prokaryotic and in turn unicellular their offspring don’t have to undergo a long period of gestation and growth prior to relative maturity. Whereas any organism (for the most part) in the animila kingdom do and any animal also require a mate. So one major benefit of bacteria being capable of asexual reproduction is they don’t require a mate to reproduce hence the name ASEXUAL. Also, another benefit I vaguely/briefly mentioned is the ability to reproduce at a faster rate than many if not all eukaryotic organisms. For example E.coli a type of bacteria can reproduce in as little as 20 minutes if I recall correctly.
