Cells that reproduce undergo what is known as Mitosis. This is when the centrioles of a cell pull the cell apart, forming two cells. This happens only in prokaryotic cells, and mitosis is how those cells reproduce.

cells undergo mitosis because there must be a process in which the nucleus is divided in order for there to be a successful reproduction for cells.
