Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand that prokaryotic cell division is primarily through a process called binary fission.
Recognize that the first step in binary fission is DNA replication, where the single, circular DNA molecule is copied.
During DNA replication, the DNA double helix unwinds, and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand.
After DNA replication, the cell grows and elongates, preparing for the next steps of division.
Finally, the cell undergoes cytokinesis, where the cell membrane pinches inward, and a septum forms to divide the cell into two daughter cells.
