DNA Replication
See Help:Processes for more information about physiological processes in EcoliWiki.
General Description
Components
Function
Regulation
Cell Biology
Replication of the circular E.coli chromosome occurs bidirectionally from oriC.
There are several models for replication:
After replication, the daughter chromosomes must be segregated using various mechanisms.
