Fission
E. coli cell
Chromosome replication
begins.
Soon thereafter,
one copy of the origin
moves rapidly toward the
other end of the cell.
Replication continues. One
copy of the origin is now at
each end of the cell.
Replication finishes.
The plasma membrane
grows inward, and
new cell wall is deposited.
Two daughter
cells result.

Just a few parenchyma cells
from a carrot gave rise to this
callus, a mass of
undifferentiated cells.
The callus differentiates into
an entire plant, with leaves,
stems, and roots.
