Binary fission

Question 1

What is the process of Binary Fission?

Answer 1

1. The single, circular DNA molecule undergoes DNA replication.
2. Any plasmids present undergo DNA replication
3. The parent cell divides into two cells, with the cytoplasm roughly halved between the two daughter cells
4. The two daughter cells each contain a single copy of the circular DNA molecule and a variable number of plasma

Question 2

What is Binary Fission?

Answer 2

Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a parent cell divides, resulting in two identical cells, each having the potential to grow to the size of the original cell.
