Replicaion of the bacterial chromosome consumes most of the ime in the cell cycle. Dna replicaion begins at a single site called the origin of replicaion (ori) through reacions catalyzed by enzymes located in the middle of the cell. Once the ori is duplicated, he two origins acively migrate to opposite ends of the cell. Division of the cytoplasm then occurs through a pariion of cell wall material that grows inward unil the cell is separated into two parts. Mitochondria and chloroplasts divides here: originate from bacteria.
