Please explain how an asexually-reproducing creature will eventually create a sexually-reproducing creature. Then explain how two asexually-reproducing creatures can produce two complementary-but-different sexually-reproducing creatures--within the same lifetime and in the same geographical area so that they may meet and reproduce.

Do you consider bacteria sexual or asexual?

Given that Bacteria usually reproduce by simply dividing in two and from Encyclopedia.com:" Reproduction is chiefly by binary fission, cell division yielding identical daughter cells. Some bacteria reproduce by budding or fragmentation.", I would say that they reproduce asexually.
