Complete the statements to compare cell division in the two organisms: For both the bacterium and the cherry plant, cell division occurs when a cell ___ and then splits to form ___ cell(s). When a bacterial cell divides, it becomes ___. When a cherry cell divides, the number of ___ increases.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to complete statements comparing cell division in a bacterium and a cherry plant, focusing on the processes involved and the outcomes of division in both organisms.
Answer
A cell grows and splits to form two cells; bacteria become identical; the number of plant cells increases.
For both the bacterium and the cherry plant, cell division occurs when a cell grows and then splits to form two cell(s). When a bacterial cell divides, it becomes two identical cells. When a cherry cell divides, the number of cells increases.
Answer for screen readers
For both the bacterium and the cherry plant, cell division occurs when a cell grows and then splits to form two cell(s). When a bacterial cell divides, it becomes two identical cells. When a cherry cell divides, the number of cells increases.
More Information
Bacteria replicate through binary fission, resulting in two identical daughter cells, while plant cells go through mitosis to grow and proliferate.
Tips
Common errors include misunderstanding the mechanisms of cell division between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
