Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The replication of DNA in prokaryotes involves the separation of the two replicated DNA molecules by the growth of the plasma membrane and cell wall between them, a process known as binary fission. This ensures that each daughter cell receives a copy of the DNA.
