General Info

Cell size is limited
	cell membrane
		Surface Area to volume ratio
	nucleus
		controlling the cell
Cell division
	asexual reproduction in unicellular organisms
	growth or repair in multicellular organisms
Binary Fission
	type of reproduction used by prokaryotes
	circular DNA/Chromosome
	steps:
		1- chromosome replicates itself and attaches to the membrane
		2- cell grows between chromosomes
		3- cell splits between chromosomes
Terms
