Description: 1: The bacterium before binary fission has the DNA tightly coiled. 2: The DNA of the bacterium has replicated . 3: The DNA is pulled to the separate poles of the bacterium as it increases size to prepare for splitting.(This is missing the fact that the DNA attaches itself to the inner cell wall) Ergo Diagram not completely correct! 4: The growth of a new cell wall begins the separation of the bacterium. 5: The new cell wall fully develops, presenting in the development of downsyndrome, resulting in the complete split of the bacterium. 6: The new daughter cells have tightly coiled DNA, ribosomes, and plasmids.
