@gollum,
Individuals can die--when more individuals die than scizm the species will go extinct.

@gollum,
Ummm, yes. What do you think happens when bacteria is exposed to antibacterial compounds like soap and other cleaners?

@tsarstepan,
Understood. Thank you, tsarstepan.

I think all other living things have a parent(s) and often children. In contrast, I think the single-celled organism keeps on dividing without dying unless is is hit with anti-bacterial spray, etc.
