Binary Fission & Division
Cards in this deck (7)
- 1What is the role of the FtsZ protein in binary fission?FtsZ assembles into a membrane ring structure early in the division process. It then pinches the cell for separation
- 2How does binary fission differ from mitosis (the division of eukaryotic cells)?Binary fission cell lacks a nucleus, while the mitosis cell possesses one
- 3How does binary fission differ from sexual reproduction?In sexual reproduction, genes are recombined. In binary fission, there is no recombination of genes
- 4Cleavage furrowThe indentation of a cell's surface, which draws the plasma membrane towards the center, and creates a "pinch" that divides the cell into 2
- 5SeptumThe new cell wall that forms between 2 daughter cells
- 6Generation TimeThe time a cell needs to produce 2 daughter cells, or to "double"
- 7ColonyIndividual organisms living together closely which were derived from a single parent cell
