Question

The sequence of events occurring in the life cycle of a bacterium is listed below. (A) The bacterium copies its single chromosome. (B) The copies of the chromosome attach to the cell membrane of the bacterium. (C) As the cell grows, the two copies of the chromosome separate. (D) The cell is separated by a wall into equal halves. (E) Each new cell has one copy of the chromosome. This sequence most closely resembles the process of

Answer 1

Answer: This sequence most closely resembles the process of Mitotic Cell Division.

Explanation:

Mitotic cell division also known as equational division or simply mitosis. In mitotic cell division process the parental genetic material equally distributed among the two daughter cells. Thus the chromosome number in progenies are equal as in the mother cell. Mitotic cell division is a process of nuclear cell division took place in eukaryotic cells in the result of production of two identical daughter cells when parent cell divides. The nucleus divides into further two new nuclei each containing the same number and type of chromosomes as the original nucleus. The main four phases of mitotic cell division are prophase, mataphase, amaphase and telophase. So this sequences most closely resembles the process of mitotic cell division.
