Document Summary

Prokaryotic replication: mechanism & regulation: prokaryotic cell division. Cell division is a fundamental process shared among all domains of life. Converts a mother cell at a specific point in its cell cycle into two genetically identical daughter cells: binary fission. Many prokaryotic species divide by binary fission: Converts a mother cell at a specific point in its cell cycle into two genetically identical daughter cells. The main regulator of bacterial cell division. Assembles into a heterogeneous structure (the z-ring): ftsz. Ftsz protein is an essential cell division protein - divides one cell into two during cell replication. Conserved in prokaryotes, chloroplasts, & some mitochondria. A tubulin-like protein component of the prokaryotic cytoskeleton that is important in prokaryotic cytokinesis. The region (dna sequence) of the prokaryotic chromosome at which replication begins. The physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells. The indentation of the cell"s membrane that begins the progression of cytokinesis.
