Bacterial genome becomes diploid _______?

Bacteria typically have a single, circular, haploid chromosome. Before a bacterium divides by binary fission, its DNA replicates, resulting in two identical copies of the chromosome within the same cell temporarily. This transient state, where two complete sets of chromosomes are present in a single cell before the cell physically divides, can be considered a temporary diploid-like state or condition for the genome within the single cell. The cell then elongates, and the two chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell before a new cell wall forms, dividing the cell into two genetically identical haploid daughter cells.
