Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Corynebacterium species have a unique type of cell division known as "half-snapping". During this process, the cell wall of the mother cell grows into the daughter cell, elongating the daughter cell and causing it to bend at a point where the cell wall is thinner. This gives the appearance of a "half-snap" in the cell.
