Detailed explanation-1: -A typical eukaryotic cell cycle is illustrated by human cells in culture, which divide approximately every 24 hours.
Detailed explanation-2: -In particular, eukaryotic cells divide using the processes of mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is common to all eukaryotes; during this process, a parent cell splits into two genetically identical daughter cells, each of which contains the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which statement about cell division in prokaryotes and eukaryotes is true? In prokaryotes, all cells divide if conditions are favorable; in eukaryotes, only a few cells divide, and they do so according to a developmental program.
Detailed explanation-4: -Since prokaryotic cells typically have only a single, circular chromosome, they can replicate faster than eukaryotic cells.
