Why are bacteria able to produce large number in such a short period of time?

Bacteria use binary fission( splitting into two identical bacteria) to reproduce, They do this at such a high rate and short time that can grow in number very fast. They reproduce so quickly so they can survive because if they did not have the numbers they had they would be killed much more quickly.

What is the estimated amount of time required for morphological and genetic changes to produce a new species?

That would depend on the complexity of the species undergoing selection pressure and the type of environmental selection pressure. In other words, impossible to say except in retrospect. Bacteria; very quickly, advanced mammals; ( humans, for instance ) very slowly. Though I did read an article today about the rapid evolution of Tibetans to low oxygen environments. Less than 3000 years.


Why does bacteria grow in hot dark and moist places?

The reason why bacteria grows in hot and moist places is because the warmth allows a faster metabolism for the bacteria, thus allowing the bacteria to reproduce more quickly.
