Q

What are the steps of binary fission?

A
  • The single chromosome is replicated
  • The copies move to opposite sides of the cell
  • Division of the cytoplasm
  • Each of the daughter cells contain one copy of the chromosome so they are identical

Q

Compare light microscopes and electron microscopes

A

Electron microscopes have much higher resolution than light microscopes

34
Q

Why does electron microscopes have higher resolution than light microscopes?

A

Because beams of electrons have much shorter wavelength than beams of light
