Bacterial cells reproduce asexually by binary fission. During binary fission, the bacterial chromosome replicates near at the middle of the bacterial cell, a site known as the origin of replication. The two copies of the DNA begin to move apart to opposite ends of the cell. When replication is finished, the plasma membrane of the cell grows inward and a new cell wall is formed. This results in two daughter cells.
