Prokaryotic Cells

Question 1

Prokaryotic Cell cycle

Answer 1

• They just have one DNA Cell
• they just live to divide
• cell division/ binary fission
• -it will attach DNA to membrane proteins and replicate its DNA
• then it divides the DNA in two
• then it divides the cell in 2 with 1 DNA in each

Question 2

Plasmids

Answer 2

pieces of DNA that the cell doesn’t necessarily need

• when it divides ti can sometimes copy this and put it into both cells
• these cells can be incorporated into the cell DNA
• -It can be junk or it can help the cell (like make it immune to antibiotics)
• cells can transfer there plasmids to another cell who doesn’t have them

Question 3

Cytokinesis of prokaryotic cell division

Answer 3

• division of cytoplasm (dividing up everything else)
• microfilaments pinch off cells
• 2 daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as parent cells (diploid/2n)
