FtsZ is a protein that is essential for cell division. It forms a ring at the division site and helps to constrict the cell membrane, leading to the formation of two daughter cells. A mutation in the gene that encodes FtsZ would therefore affect the process of cytokinesis, which is the physical separation of the two daughter cells.
