Cell Circular Dna Cytoplasm Daughter Steps Process Binary

Binary fission includes replicating circular DNA and plasmids, cell expansion, migration of DNA strands to opposite poles, and cytoplasm division, resulting in two daughter cells each possessing one copy of the circular DNA, though plasmid numbers may vary.

Binary fission involves replication of DNA and plasmids, cell enlargement, movement of DNA to opposite ends, and division of cytoplasm to produce two daughter cells, each with one copy of the circular DNA.

Front What are the steps for the process of binary fission?
Back
  1. The circular DNA and plasmids replicate
  2. The cell gets bigger and the circular DNA strands move to the opposite ends of the cell
  3. The cytoplasm begins to divide and new cell walls begin to form
  4. The cytoplasm divides and two daughter cells are produced. Each daughter cell has one copy of the circular DNA, but can have a variable number of copies of the plasmids.
