prokaryote cells

Question 1

What happens during prokaryotic cell division?

Answer 1

Step 1 The circular DNA and plasmid(s) replicate. The main DNA loop is only replicated once, but Plasmids can be replicated loads of times.
**Step 2* * The cell gets bigger and the DNA loops move to opposite ‘poles’ (ends) of the cells.
Step 3 The cytoplasm begins to divides (and new cell walls begin to form)
Step 4 The cytoplasm divides and two daughter cells are produced. Each daughter cells has only one copy of the circular DNA, but can have variable number of copies of the plasmid(s).

Question 2

wWhat are prokaryotic cells?

Answer 2

-They are single celled organisms. e.g. bacteria (E.Coli)

Question 3

what is the difference between prokaryote and a eukaryote

Answer 3

• prokaryote cells are much smaller than eukaryote cells
