How can bacteria reproduce by fission?

Bacteria reproduce by a process called binary fission, where a single bacterium divides into two identical daughter cells. During fission, the bacterial chromosome replicates, and the two copies move to opposite ends of the cell. Then, the cell elongates, and a septum forms in the middle, dividing the cell into two. Finally, the cell membrane pinches inwards, resulting in the formation of two independent daughter cells.
