1 When a single cell of E. coli reproduces, it first duplicates its DNA. Next, the cell elongates as each copy of DNA is pulled

toward opposite ends of the cell. The membrane then pinches inward, dividing the cytoplasm into two halves and producing two daughter cells. What is true about these daughter cells?

Answer:  The correct answer is :  All statements are true.

Explanation:  1. Chromosome replication begins; one copy of the origin moves rapidly towards the other end of the cell.

2. Replication continues. One copy of the origin is now at each end of the cell.

3. Replication finished. The plasma membrane grows inward, and the new cell wall is deposited.

4. Two daughter cells result. Each cell inherits a complete genome.

Answer:

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

When a single cell of E. coli reproduces, it first duplicates its DNA. Next, the cell elongates as each copy of dna is pulled toward opposite ends of the cell. the membrane then pinches inward, dividing the cytoplasm into two halves and producing two daughter cells. what is true about these daughter cells? a. they are genetically different from the parent because they are produced by sexual reproduction. b. they are genetically identical to the parent because they are produced by sexual reproduction. c. they are genetically identical to the parent because they are produced by asexual reproduction. d. they are genetically different from the parent because they are produced by asexual reproduction.

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS C

Explanation:

This process that E. coli bacteria undergoes is called BINARY FISSION. This process of binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction which bacteria uses to reproduce or add to their population. Binary fission is a form of cell division, similar to mitosis that occurs in eukaryotic cells.

As highlighted above, the bacteria cell first replicates its DNA (in its nucleoid) at a spot on the circular chromosome called ORIGIN OF REPLICATION. After replication, the duplicated chromosomes get pulled apart to the opposite ends of the cell. After which the membrane pinches inward to form a SEPTUM (dividing new wall). The septum splits down the middle, releasing the two daughter cells as individual bacterium.

This process is a form of asexual reproduction similar to mitosis in the sense that two identical daughter cells are produced i.e. genetic variation does not occur.

Nuris is writing a paper on the scientist who first named cells after studying cork under a microscope. Who is her paper about?
Setler79 [48]
Robert Hooke was the first scientist to discover cell. This discovery was made possible by the use of microscope which he invented. With this microscope, Robert examined a cork and noticed pores which filled the entire volume of the thin slices of cork; he called the pores cells. This discovery was made in January 1653.

What type of molecule speeds up chemical reactions in living things?
iren [92.7K]

The best answer is  B - Proteins.

Proteins make up enzymes, or to put it another way enzymes are made up of protein. It is enzymes that speed up the chemical reactions. Enzymes are organic catalysts, substances that speed up a (biochemical) reaction but do not take part in the reaction and remain unchanged at the end of the reaction.

In man, there are many enzymes. The majority of these are found in the digestive system where they greatly aid the process of food breakdown from complex molecules to simple molecules. Examples include salivary amylase found in saliva,  which begins the gradual breaking down of starch into glucose right from the moment food is placed in the mouth and mixed with saliva. Pepsin in the stomach breaks down protein.
