Passage: Prokaryotic organisms, like bacteria. Bacteria reproduce through binary fission , where they grow and divide in half ( Figure below ). First, their chromosome replicates and the cell enlarges. The cell then divides into two cells as new membranes form to separate the two cells. After cell division, the two new cells each have one identical chromosome. This simple process allows bacteria to reproduce very rapidly. Answer: binary fission
