In the process of binary fission ___________________. The chromosome divides while in the nucleoid and then is attached to the cell membrane before cell division Chromosome replication begins at the plasma membrane where daughter chromosomes are anchored to different portions of the membrane The cell begins elongating, and the chromosome is completely replicated before it is moved to the other side of the cell The chromosome is transferred through the sex pilus to the awaiting daughter cell which is DNA free until that point

The division of any cell, prokaryotic or eukaryotic, requires that the genetic information in each of the parent cell's chromosomes be faithfully copied and distributed into each daughter cell. only then does the cell physically divide. because of their divergent evolutionary paths, bacteria, plants, and animals have somewhat different mechanisms of chromosome separation and cell division.
