Read the passage. Binary Fission
In prokaryotic organisms and protozoa, the process of cell division is called binary fission. In this process, two cells are produced through
the division of a living prokaryotic cell into two parts.
In bacteria, binary fission is under the control of a group of proteins called Ftsz that can be found around the division site. The process of
binary fission in a bacterial cell thus is contingent upon the activity of the Ftsz to divide and direct the division of the cell.
What does the word contingent mean in the passage?
1. dependent
