Summary Introduction
To review:
The process through which the bacterial cell regulates initiation of chromosome replication.
Introduction:
Replication is a process of duplicating DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules. Cell division also includes the division of genetic material that is only possible by means of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) replication. The process of replication ensures that equal amount of genetic material is transported to the daughter cells.
