What are the steps of binary fission?

Answer 1

Binary fission is used by most prokaryotes for asexual reproduction. This process replicates the original, or mother, cell, to produce two identical daughter cells.

The fission process begins when the DNA of the mother cell is replicated and joins into a circular structure, pair by pair; each circular DNA strand then attaches to the plasma membrane. Near the site of attachment, the cell elongates and causes the two duplicated chromosomes to separate. At this point, the plasma membrane invaginates, or pinches inward toward the middle of the cell; when it reaches the middle, the cell splits into two daughter cells.

Organisms reproducing through binary fission grow in numbers exponentially. Provided that there are adequate nutrients and a reasonably fast life cycle, a single organism can multiply into billions or more relatively quickly.

It is common that one of the resultant daughter cells is not identical to the mother due to the relatively high mutation rate of bacteria. This tendency to change is what makes bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics, and what enables them to rapidly adjust to different environments still some

Answer 2

Binary Fission is a mechanism of asexual reproduction and happens in 4 steps:

1. Replication of DNA- The DNA is copied and contains the same exact genetic material as the beginning DNA strands, except in cases of mutation.

2. Growth- The parental cell increases in size allowing for reproduction of another cell. The now replicated circular DNA strands attach to different points on the plasma membrane.

3. Segregation of DNA- The cell begins to elongate and the DNA is pulled into opposite ends of the cell. Proteins control the initial pinching of the cell, when the chromosomes detach from one another.

4. Splitting of the cells- Growth of new plasma membranes allow for the cells to split into two identical daughter cells, each with their own DNA.

Answer 3

In prokaryotes, first the chromosome which resides inside of the cell , makes a copy of itself, resulting in two identical chromosome pairs attached to the inside of the prokaryote's [inner] cell membrane. After the chromosome is copied, the cell continues to grow until it reaches approximately twice the cell's original size. Then a new cell membrane forms between the two chromosomes and the cell splits into two new daughter cells. Each new cell contains one of the identical chromosomes that resulted from the copying of the original cell's chromosome.

Answer 4

The four steps of binary fission are :

1- There is 1 cell

2- The cell then copies it's DNA

3- The DNA and its copy separate as the cell rapidly grows larger

4- The cell then pinches in the middle, and is split into 2 cells

5-Each new cell has a identical copy of the DNA

Answer 5

Binary fission occurs by the replication of the chromosome beginning at the origin of replication. The two daughter chromosomes move apart and the plasma membrane pinches inward, dividing the cell in two. *Prokaryotes do not have mitotic spindles or microtubules that aid in this process.

Answer 6

Binary fission is the process that prokaryotes use to divide into two. Binary means two and fission means to divide.

Answer 7

the proces of binary fision is when a amoeba or an unicell divides
