Bacterial Replication
Cards in this deck (8)
- 1What is the name of bacterial replication?Binary fission
- 2What is the first stage?Circular DNA replicated and attaches to cel surface membrane
- 3What occurs next?Cell elongates, separating the 2 chromosomes to the poles
- 4What does this allow?Cell membrane to pinch in and a new cell wall to form between
- 5What does this create?2 genetically identical cells
- 6Why are plasmids unevenly distributed?They do not attach to the cell membrane
- 7What form of replication is this?Semi-conservative
- 8What is the full process?Circular DNA replicates and attaches to cell surface membrane. Cell elongates and plasmid DNA replicates. A cell wall forms between and 2 new cells are formed. These are genetically identical daughter cells with variable numbers of plasmids
