#10
Front (Question)

Binary fission

Back (Answer)

Step 1 - DNA and plasmids replicate. Plasmids can be replicated many times Step 2 - At the same time the cells elongate and as it does so the two DNA molecules go to opposite side Step 3 - Cytoplasm begins to divide and new cell walls begins to form Step 4 - The cytoplasm divides to produce to daughter cells. Each contain an identical DNA loop but can contain a rigged number of plasmid copies.
