Answer:

Fission

Step-by-step explanation:

This form of asexual reproduction is called binary fission. During this, a single parent cell divides and we are left with two daughter cells of equal sizes. Each of these daughter cells can and most likely will grow into the size of the parent cell. This is very common in prokaryotes that usually copy their DNA before dividing.
