Binary fission enables them to reproduce quickly.
A parasite moving between individuals other than parents and their offspring uses
horizontal transmission.
Horizontal transmission is the transmission of infections between (parasites) that are not in a parent-child relationship (vertical transmission). Horizontal transmission may include the carriers or <span>vectors which are other species. Transmission, in that case, occurs via the bite of the vector (an infected organism), like in malaria.</span>
1. Cell starts into mitosis phase of the cell cycle.
2. Helicase begins to break the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases. (The double helix has to be unwound in order to expose the nucleotides)
3. DNA polymerase attach the free-floating nucleotides to the exposed nitrogen bases. (this allows a new DNA strand to be made on the existing one)
4. Free floating nucleotides pair up with exposed nitrogen bases (this is what really builds the new strand, based around the template strand)
5. Two new molecules of DNA are created
Statements:
Adenine
Cytosine (Car in the Garage, Apple in a Tree is a good trick to know how they pair)
DNA
Replication
Double helix
It is best defined as a "proposed explanation".
