Arrange the following steps of binary fission in prokaryotic cells in the correct order.
The single circular chromosome duplicates
A membrane forms in the middle of the parent cell
The parent cell is divided into two parts
Each copy of the chromosome moves to an opposite end of the cell
Two daughter cells separate, each with a complete set of genetic material
Correct Answer
(1) The single circular chromosome duplicates
(2) Each copy of the chromosome moves to an opposite end of the cell
(3) A membrane forms in the middle of the parent cell
(4) The parent cell is divided into two parts
(5) Two daughter cells separate, each with a complete set of genetic material
Explanation
Binary fission in sequence:
- The single circular chromosome duplicates
- Each copy moves to a separate end of the cell
- A membrane forms in the middle of the parent cell
- The cell is divided into two parts
- Two daughter cells separate, each containing a full copy of the genetic material
