17
Q

What is the nucleoid region?

A

Area of the cell containing free floating, continuous, circular DNA thread

18
Q

Where is the area of the cell containing free floating, continuous, circular DNA thread ?

A

nucleoid region

19
Q

How do prokaryote cells divide?

A

binary fission

20
Q

What happens during binary fission?

A

DNA is copied, two daughter chromosomes attach to different parts of plasma membrane, then the cell divides. Division occurs through cell elongation and a protein called FtsZ that partitions new DNA

21
Q

What is number 1?

A

plasma membrane

22
Q

What is number 2?

A

DNA (nucleoid)

23
Q

What is number 3?

capsule

24
Q

What is number 4?

A

cell wall

25
