The short replication in prokaryotes occurs almost continuously, but eukaryotic cells only undergo DNA replication during the S-phase of the cell cycle.
In biochemistry, aligand is a substance that forms a complex with a biomolecule to serve abiological purpose. In protein-ligandbinding, the ligand is usually a molecule which produces a signal by binding to a site on a target protein.
Receptor mediated endocytosis is an endocytotic mechanism in which specific molecules are ingested into the cell. The specificity results from a receptor-ligand interaction. Receptors on the plasma membrane of the target tissue will specifically bind to ligands on the outside of the cell. An endocytotic process occurs and the ligand is ingested.
A very well studied example of receptor mediated endocytosis involves the metabolism of cholesterol.
In any ecosystem two factors interact together are abiotic factors and biotic factors. Abiotic factors include non-living such as soil, air, water and climatic factors ( temperature, humidity, rainfall or precipitation) whereas, biotic factors includes all the flora (plants) and fauna (animals). These two factors interact through food chains to function an ecosystem.
Step 1: Single "naked" strand splits and forms a duplicate of itself.
Step 2: The two copies move to opposite sides of the cell.
Step 3: The cell splits into two new identical cells, also known as the daughter cells. (Cell wall then forms if applicable)
