Why do cells need to separate?

Only some cells separate. Ones that normally are only one cell will do that. Some cells form two cells, some form strands or chains, and some form clusters and look like a bunch of grapes. In other situations, many cells together will form tissues. These are found in animals and plants. It really depends on how their genes work and tell them what to do.


Is plasmid that can replicate in Ecoli and Pseudomonas a high copy number plasmid?

Many Pseudomonas plasmids are transmissible to E. coli, but the copy number is plasmid-dependent. Some plasmids are of low-copy number whereas some are high-copy number, and we should also consider copy-number-incompatibility. It could not be said that plasmids which can replicate in E.coli and Pseudomonas are of high copy number.
