Detailed explanation-1: -Reproduction in prokaryotes is asexual and usually takes place by binary fission. The DNA of a prokaryote exists as as a single, circular chromosome. Prokaryotes do not undergo mitosis; rather the chromosome is replicated and the two resulting copies separate from one another, due to the growth of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) reproduce asexually through binary fission.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction occurs in prokaryotic microorganisms (bacteria) and in some eukaryotic single-celled and multi-celled organisms. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prokaryotic cells grow to a certain size. Then they divide by binary fission. This is a type of asexual reproduction. Binary fission produces genetically identical offspring.

Detailed explanation-5: -Binary fission is the name for asexual reproduction in prokaryotes. In this process, a bacterial cell undergoes a single mitotic division to produce two identical offspring, each of which has the same genetic material as the original cell. This is the most common form of reproduction used by prokaryotes or bacteria.
