Binary fission in prokaryotes
Prokaryotic cells reproduce primarily through binary fission.
Binary fission refers to the formation of two daughter cells from a parent cell.
It occurs in favorable settings. Duplication of dsDNA is followed by elongation of the bacterial cell, which results in the creation of two infoldings, two new plasma membranes, and a cell wall.
In binary fission, prokaryotes reproduce daughter cells by binary division of the mother cell into two identical daughter cells.
