To review:
The coordination of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) replication with cell wall septation.
Introduction:
DNA is designated as the genetic material that is found in almost all living organisms. It is first observed by Fredrich Miescher but its structure is described by James Watson and Francis Crick. It is a double helical structure that conveys biological information from parents to their offspring.
The process of
The termination site of DNA replication enhances the growth of dividing envelope partitions or septum. This septum grows in an inward direction and involves the sealing-off and formation of daughter cells. This process is known as cell separation. The growth of septum that separates the growing cells from one another is triggered after the completion of DNA replication of the termination site in the parent DNA.
