The disappearance of the nuclear envelope
Which step of binary fission is the reason for genetically identical
daughter cells?
Replication of the bacterial chromosome
What enables the copied chromosomes to separate during binary
fission?
The chromosomes are attached to different parts of the cell membrane,
which elongates and thus separates the chromosomes.
How long does it take for the daughter cells to initiate or start the next
round of replication?
No time is required -- they are ready to divide immediately after DNA
replication and separation of the daughter cells is complete if conditions are
right.
Put the following steps of bacterial replication in the correct order,
starting from a parent cell.
1. Cell elongation
2. Septum formation
