re-write this in a shorter sentence:

In bacteria, binary fission is a process where the circular chromosome is duplicated as the cell gets longer. The parts of the chromosome that help with replication, called the origin and terminus, are important in this process. The duplication causes two copies of the chromosome to move to opposite sides of the cell. This movement creates a barrier in the middle of the cell, called the septum, which divides the cell into two. As the cell membrane moves in, a new cell wall forms, creating two separate bacteria. This method helps bacteria quickly make copies of themselves.

Bacteria replicate by duplicating their circular chromosome and dividing into two separate cells through binary fission.
