chapter 9.5 the prokarytoic cell division

Prokaryotes do not have a

Membrane bound nucleus

Prokaryotes have how much chromosnes

One chromosome, which after duplication is easily shared between daughter cells

Prokaryotic cells do not undergo

Mitosis

Prokaryotic cell divide by

Binary fission

The prokaryotic bacteria, archae chromosome is a

Ring of DNA and a few associated proteins

Folded up in an area called the nuclieod

The prokaryotic chromosome

1,000x the length of cell

The prokaryotic chromosome

replicated into 2 rings prior to cell division

The prokaryotic cell division

Replicated Rings attach to the plasma membrane

The prokaryotic cell

Splitting into two

Binary fission

Two replicate chromosomes are distributed to two daughter cells

Binary fission

Produces two daughter cells identical to original cell asexual reproduction

Binary fission

Escherichia coil an essential microb has a generation time of about 20 minutes

Binary fission
