Questions and Answers List
level questions: Level 1 of binary fission
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is binary fission? | when prokaryotic cells split in two. |
| 1st step of binary fission | circular DNA strands and plasmids replicate |
| 2nd step of binary fission | cell gets bigger. circular dna strands move to opposite ends of the cell. |
| 3rd step of binary fission | cytoplasm divides |
| 4th step of binary fission | cytoplasm divides. two daughter cells are produced. each daughter cell has copy of circular dna. one can have a variable number of plasmid copies. |
| what are daughter cells? | exact copies of the parent cell. |
| how fast do bacteria cells | very quickly in the right conditions. if not in the right conditions, cells stop dividing and begin to die |
| how can you find out how many times a cell is divided? | find the mean amount of time it takes for bacteria to divide. |
