Flash cards concerning prokaryotic cell division and DNA replication. Made to be specific to the language used by my molecular biology professor.
| Front | Where and how does replication begin? |
| Back | The origin of replication (ori).Replication goes in both directions away from the ori --> replication forks |
| Front | What does cytokinesis look like in prokaryotes? |
| Back | Depends on the species.Could be in the middle of the cell (like in E. Coli)Could be towards the end of the cell (like in spore-making species) |
| Front | What does supercoiling look like in prokaryotic DNA replication? |
| Back | Positive supercoiling in front of replisome.Negative supercoiling behind replisome. |
