Binary Fission

When bacteria duplicate, the cells simply pinch in two (fission).  If this is all that happened, then one cell would have DNA and the other cell would have none.   Therefore, before any cell can divide it must first make a copy of its DNA so that each new cell gets its own copy.

 
 
 

This is the most simple form of cell division.

Questions:

1.  How would the division process be different if, instead of one chromosome, the bacteria had its DNA in three separate chromosomes? That is, would the process be fundamentally different?
