Document Summary

Biol 1000 chapter 8: dna replication, cell division, cell cycle. All bacteria and archaea use dna as their hereditary information single, circular chromosomes of double stranded dna. Dna is located in nucleoid throughout cell cycle. Sometimes b period is skipped due to abundance of nutrients. Replication of the bacterial chromosome commences at the ori, which is in the middle of the cell where the enzymes for dna replication are located. Once ori is duplicated, new origins migrate toward the opposite ends of the poles. Cytoplasmic division is associated with an inward constriction of a cytokinetic ring of cytoskeletal proteins. New plasma membrane/cell wall is assembled to divide the cell into 2 equal parts. Mitosis has the ability to hold the two newly created molecules of double-stranded dna. Eukaryotes require the daughter cells to be genetic copies of the parental cell, mitosis serves very well to divide the replicated dna equally and precisely.
