Document Summary
For some cells, such as prokaryotic cells, cell division is also reproduction since the division of one prokaryotic cell will make a new organism (which is made up of one cell). All of the essential elements needed for cells to reproduce are found in the prokaryotic cell. Segregating one copy of each genome to each of the 2 daughter cells. Identical genetic material is distributed amongst daughter cells. When the dna of the bacterial chromosome is attached to the inside of the plasma membrane by proteins. The cell begins to elongate and the newly synthesized dna is attached to the plasma membrane. Cell continues elongating until there are 2 dna attachment sites at the opposite ends. When dna replication is complete the bacterial cell begins to constrict along the midpoint of the cell. This is accompanied by the synthesis of a new cell membrane and a new cell wall.
