Document Summary
Most common mechanism of cell replication in bacteria: cell grows and increases its number of cellular components. Replication of dna starts at a location on the chromosome. Replication continues in opposite directions along the chromosome until the terminus is re. Center of the cell constricts until 2 daughter cells are formed- each with a complete copy o. Cytokinesis is directed by a protein called ftsz. Ftsz assembles into a z ring and defines the division plane between the two daughter cells. Peptidoglycan cell wall development is activated- builds a septum that divides the two dau. Generation time is reached py of the parental genome cells daughter cells throu. Eukaryotes time between the same points of the life cycle in two successive generations. Prokaryotes generations time/ doubling time - time it takes for the population to double throu fission. Microorganisms in a culture, in which no nutrients are added and waste is not removed, fo growth pattern.
