CHROMOSOMES AND CELL DIVISIONS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
cell division in prokaryotic cells is called
A
binary fission
B
binary fusion
C
mitosis
D
cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotes reproduce through a cell division process called binary fission. Like mitosis in eukaryotes, this process involves copying the chromosome and separating one cell into two.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is Binary Fission? Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction typically observed in prokaryotes and a few single-celled eukaryotes. In this method of asexual reproduction, there is a separation of the parent cell into two new daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most prokaryotes divide using binary fission, where one cell elongates, duplicates DNA and plasmids, and separates into two new cells using a Z-ring. However, some bacteria divide using multiple cell divisions, where many divisions of DNA and cytoplasm form new cells inside the original cell, the baeocyte.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is binary fission? Bacterial binary fission is the process that bacteria use to carry out cell division. Binary fission is similar in concept to the mitosis that happens in multicellular organisms (such as plants and animals), but its purpose is different.
