Question

Do prokaryotes have mitosis or meiosis?

Answer 1

Prokaryotes: Any organism without internal membranes is referred to as a prokaryote, usually written procaryote. These organisms lack a defined nucleus and other organelles.

1. Mitosis and meiosis are not observed in prokaryotes.
2. Mitosis is the process by which a cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells.
3. Meiosis is the split of a germ cell into four sex cells (egg or sperm), each of which has half of the parent cell's chromosomes.
4. Binary fission is how prokaryotic cells divide.
5. It's similar to mitosis, which necessitates DNA replication as well as an equal division of genetic material and cytoplasm to produce two daughter cells.
6. In prokaryotic cells, it is the asexual reproduction mechanism.
7. Binary fission is an asexual reproduction process that separates an organism into two halves, each with one copy of the genetic material.
