CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The cell cycle in prokaryotes produces cells that are the ____ as the parent cell by a process called ____
A
Different:sexual reproduction
B
Same:mitosis
C
Same:meiosis
D
Equal:binary fission
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike eukaryotes, prokaryotes (which include bacteria) undergo a type of cell division known as binary fission. In some respects, this process is similar to mitosis; it requires replication of the cell’s chromosomes, segregation of the copied DNA, and splitting of the parent cell’s cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a cell division mechanism that occurs in somatic cells. In this process, the mother cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells. In prokaryotic cells, mitosis and meiosis are not seen. Thus prokaryotes do not go through mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis and meiosis do not occur in prokaryotes. Binary fission is how prokaryotic cells divide. It’s comparable to mitosis, which necessitates DNA replication followed by an equal division of genetic material and cytoplasm to produce two daughter cells. In prokaryotic cells, it is the asexual form of reproduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitotic Spindle Apparatus. The precise timing and formation of the mitotic spindle is critical to the success of eukaryotic cell division. Prokaryotic cells, on the other hand, do not undergo mitosis and therefore have no need for a mitotic spindle.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cell Division in Prokaryotes Most prokaryotic cells divide by the process of binary fission. Steps of Binary Fission. Prokaryotic cells divide by binary fission. This is also how many single-celled organisms reproduce.
