Do prokaryotes go through mitosis?

Solution

Prokaryotes:

  1. Prokaryotes are organisms that lack a recognizable nucleus and other organelles due to the absence of internal membranes.
  2. Bacteria are one of the most well-known types of prokaryotic creatures.
  3. Prokaryotic cells divide with the help of binary fission.
  4. Mitosis is a cell division mechanism that occurs in somatic cells.
  5. In this process, the mother cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells
  6. In prokaryotic cells, mitosis and meiosis are not seen.
  7. Thus prokaryotes do not go through mitosis
