Cell division Presentation Joey Braun Anthony Mazza
VibrioCholerae • Kingdom: Eubacteria • Genus: Vibrio • Species: V. Cholerae
Eubacteria Kingdom • Body type: Unicellular • Prokaryotic
Reproduction of VibrioCholerae • VibrioCholeraeuses binary fission to reproduce • Knowing how this deadly bacteria reproduces can help scientists to make a medicine that can disrupt the cycle
Real world application • Understanding binary fission can help save peoples lives. Knowing that a certain ingredient in a medicine can stop the cycle, will help kill it.
Binary Fission • Asexual reproduction in prokaryotic cells • Happens by separation of the body
First step of Binary Fission • Parent cell grows to maximum size and duplicates its chromosomes • Makes two copies of genetic material (DNA)
Next step of Binary Fission • Cell grows • Increases space between the two duplicated chromosomes • In prokaryotes, a new cell wall is formed across the middle of the cell, dividing it
Last step of Binary Fission • Daughter cells separate • A new cell is formed • Process repeats very quickly
