  2. Fission (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission_(biology)

    Binary fission is generally rapid, though its speed varies between species. For E. coli, cells typically divide about every 20 minutes at 37 °C. [11] Because the new cells will, in turn, undergo binary fission on their own, the time binary fission requires is also the time the bacterial culture requires to double in the number of cells it ...

  3. Amitosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amitosis

    Amitosis, also known as karyostenosis, direct cell division, or binary fission, is a mode of asexual cell division primarily observed in prokaryotes.This process is distinct from other cell division mechanisms such as mitosis and meiosis, mainly because it bypasses the complexities associated with the mitotic apparatus, such as spindle formation.

  4. Bacterial growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_growth

    Bacterial growth is proliferation of bacterium into two daughter cells, in a process called binary fission. Providing no mutation event occurs, the resulting daughter cells are genetically identical to the original cell. Hence, bacterial growth occurs. Both daughter cells from the division do not necessarily survive.

  5. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    Cell division in prokaryotes (binary fission) and eukaryotes (mitosis and meiosis). The thick lines are chromosomes, and the thin blue lines are fibers pulling on the chromosomes and pushing the ends of the cell apart. The cell cycle in eukaryotes: I = Interphase, M = Mitosis, G 0 = Gap 0, G 1 = Gap 1, G 2 = Gap 2, S = Synthesis, G 3 = Gap 3.

    English: 1: The bacterium before binary fission has the DNA tightly coiled. 2: The DNA of the bacterium has replicated . 3: The DNA is pulled to the separate poles of the bacterium as it increases size to prepare for splitting. 4: The growth of a new cell wall begins the separation of the bacterium. 5: The new cell wall fully develops, presenting in the development of downsyndrome, resulting ...

  7. Cleavage furrow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_furrow

    Cilliate undergoing the last processes of binary fission, with the cleavage furrow being clearly visible. In cell biology, the cleavage furrow is the indentation of the cell's surface that begins the progression of cleavage, by which animal and some algal cells undergo cytokinesis, the final splitting of the membrane, in the process of cell ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Nuclear_technology

    The stages of binary fission in a liquid drop model. Energy input deforms the nucleus into a fat "cigar" shape, then a "peanut" shape, followed by binary fission as the two lobes exceed the short-range nuclear force attraction distance, and are then pushed apart and away by their electrical charge. In the liquid drop model, the two fission ...
