explain the stages of binary fission
Answers
Answer:
simple binary fission, transverse binary fission
Answer:
The steps involved in the binary fission in bacteria are:
Step 1- Replication of DNA
The bacterium uncoils and replicates its chromosome, essentially doubling its content.
Step 2- Growth of a Cell
After copying the chromosome, the bacterium starts to grow larger in preparation for binary fissions. It is followed by an increase in cytoplasmic content. Another prominent trait of this stage is that the two strands migrate to opposite poles of the cell.
Step 3-Segregation of DNA
The cell elongates with a septum forming at the middle. The two chromosomes are also separated in this phase.
Step 4- Splitting of Cells
A new cell wall is formed at this phase, and the cell splits at the centre, dividing the parent cell into two new daughter cells. Each of the daughter cells contains a copy of the nuclear materials as necessary organelles.
