When is a bacterium's circular chromosome copied?

A bacterium's circular chromosome is copied during a process called DNA replication. This typically occurs before the bacterium divides through binary fission to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information.


How do bacteria reproduce is?

Bacteria can reproduce sexually and asexually. Sexually, two bacteria are involved, but asexually, the bacterium divides on its own in a process similar to that of cellular mitosis.


If a certain bacterium divides every 30 min when will there be more than 1000 bacteria?

After 4 hours, as the bacterium doubles every 30 minutes, resulting in 8 divisions within this time frame. Starting with 1 bacterium, this will lead to 28 = 256 bacteria after 4 hours.

If one bacterium divides once every 20 minutes how many would there be after six hours?

After six hours, and assuming they all survive dividing, you would have 232144

When one bacterium split in the middle to form two bacteria what is it?

This process is called binary fission. Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single bacterium divides into two identical daughter cells. It is the most common method of bacterial reproduction.


How does a certain bacterium divide every 30 min to get 1000 bacteria?

The bacterium undergoes binary fission, where it duplicates its genetic material and divides into two daughter cells. This process repeats every 30 minutes, resulting in exponential growth. After 10 cycles (5 hours), one bacterium will have produced 1000 bacteria.


What results when a single bacterium reproduces?

When a single bacterium reproduces, it divides into two daughter cells through a process called binary fission. Each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell. This allows for exponential growth of bacterial populations.


What would happen to an engulfed bacterium if it never contacted a digestive vacuole?

If an engulfed bacterium did not come into contact with a digestive vacuole, the phagocytosis would not be possible. Phagocytosis destroys bacteria to help keep us healthy.
