cell cycle & binary fission

Question 1

Interphase

Answer 1

cell growth- increases number of ribosomes and mitochondria
replication- DNA replicates forming 2 copies of each chromosome

Question 2

Mitosis

Answer 2

nuclear division- one set of chromosomes is pulled to each end of the cell and the nucleus divides

Question 3

Cytokinesis

Answer 3

Cytoplasm and cell membrane divide into 2 IDENTICAL daughter cells

Question 4

What type of cells do mitosis occur in?

Answer 4

Eukaryotic cells

Question 5

What type of cells does binary fission occur in?

Answer 5

Prokaryotic cells

Question 6

Binary fission stages

Answer 6

1- loop of DNA and plasmids replicate
2- DNA loops move to opposite ends of the cell
3-The cytoplasm divides and a new cell wall forms
4- 2 identical daughter cells are produced
