Mitochondria and chloroplasts reproduce in the same way that free-living bacteria do—by binary fission.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts reproduce through a process that resembles binary fission, similar to bacteria. They contain their own DNA and replicate independently within the cell, which supports the endosymbiotic theory of their origins. This independent reproduction is crucial for the energy processes in eukaryotic cells.
