usually, a single circular chromosome has around ___ million bp

40

prokaryotic chromosome compaction:

prokaryotic chromosomes are ___ than eukaryotic chromosomes.

However, they are still large

41
Q

prokaryotic chromosome compaction:

___ must be compacted to take up at least
1000 times less space in the cell

A

chromosomes

42
Q

prokaryotic chromosome compaction:

chromosomes must be compacted to take up at least ___ times less space in the cell

A

1000 times

43
Q

prokaryotic chromosome compaction:

chromosomes must be compacted to take up at least 1000 times less space in the ___

44
Q

prokaryotic chromosome compaction:

the 1st level of DNA compaction: DNA is looped around ___ to form loop domains, which are further compacted into supercoils

A

SMC proteins

45
Q

prokaryotic chromosome compaction:

the 1st level of DNA compaction: DNA is looped around SMC proteins to form ___, which are further compacted to form supercoils

A

supercoils

47
Q

prokaryotic chromosome compaction:

50
Q

binary fission:

3 things binary fission requires:

A

duplication of genetic material
segregation of genetic material
division of cytoplasm

51
Q

process of binary fission:

A

cell increases in size

circular bacterial chromosome is replicated

replication begins at the origin of replication and proceeds in both directions to the site of termination

new chromosomes separated and segregated to opposite ends of the cell

septation (dividing the cell in 2):

FtsZ proteins form a ring around the middle of the cell called a Septum

Septum beings to shrink and divide the cell

septum divides cell completely into 2 daughter cells

52
Q

binary fission:

septation (what is it)

A

part of binary fission

dividing the cell in 2

53
Q

binary fission:

cell increases in ___

54
Q

binary fission:

circular bacterial chromosome is ___

A

replicated

55
Q

binary fission:

replication begins at the ___ and proceeds in both directions to the ___

A

origin of replication

site of termination

56
Q

binary fission:

new chromosomes ___ and ___ to opposite ends of the cell

A

separated and segregated

57
Q

binary fission:

___ form a ring around the middle of the cell called a ___

A

FtsZ proteins form a ring around the middle of the cell called a Septum

58
Q

binary fission:

___ begins to shrink and divide the cell

59
Q

binary fission:

septum divides the cell completely into 2 ___

A

daughter cells

60
Q

binary fission:

___ divides the cell completely into 2 daughter cells
