In prokaryotes, the chromosome that resides inside of the cell makes a copy of itself, resulting in two identical chromosome pairs attached to the inside of the prokaryote's [inner] cell membrane. After the chromosome is copied, the cell continues to grow until it reaches approximately twice the cell's original size. Then a new cell membrane forms between the two chromosomes, and the cell splits into two new daughter cells. Each new cell contains one of the identical chromosomes that resulted from the copying of the original cell's chromosone
