8.2 Prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission
• Prokaryotic cells reproduce asexually by binary
fission, a term that means “dividing in half.”
• In typical prokaryotes, most genes are carried on
one circular DNA molecule that, with associated
proteins, constitutes the organism’s chromosome.
• As the cell replicates its single chromosome,
• the copies move apart,
• the plasma membrane pinches inward, and
• more cell wall is made, which eventually divides the
parent cell into two daughter cells.

8.19 A karyotype is a photographic inventory
of an individual’s chromosomes
• To prepare a karyotype, white blood cells are
• isolated,
• stimulated to grow,
• arrested at metaphase, and
• photographed under a microscope.
• The chromosomes are arranged into ordered pairs
so that any chromosomal abnormalities can be
detected.

8.21 CONNECTION: Abnormal numbers of
sex chromosomes do not usually affect
survival
• Nondisjunction of the sex chromosomes during
meiosis can result in individuals with a missing or
extra X or Y chromosome.
• In some cases (such as XXY), this leads to
syndromes that can affect the health of the
individual.
• In other cases (such as XXX), the body is normal.
