Best Answer

Prokaryotes can reproduce by either binary fission or conjugation. Binary Fission is asexual reproduction where the cell splits in two, and conjugation works through the exchange in DNA between two cells.

binary fusion

in asexual process known as binary fission
binary fission
Prokaryotes use binary fission or conjugation to reproduce asexually.

By asexual reproduction called Binary Fission.

You start with 1 circular chromosome

Duplicate the chromosome

The cell elongates and the chromosomes are pulled apart

The cell wall is separated

Result: 2 genetically identical cells.

Through Binary Fusion. (With asexual reproduction) The 2 daughter cells are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell.

Yes because some prokaryotes take part in conjugation. Where genetic information is transferred from one cell to another by the hollow bridge.

Yes, they can. They reproduce both asexually, through a process called binary fission, and sexually.

How do prokaryotic cells reproduce and divide?

Prokaryotic cells reproduce and divide using binary fission, mitosis, and meiosis. It just depends on the species of cell.


Prokaryotic cells reproduce by a process called what?

Fission


Looking at a cell under a microscope you note that it is a prokarote?

- prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and eukaryotic cells do. - prokaryotic cells lack some organelles and eukaryotic cells do not. - prokaryotic cells are not found in humans and eukaryotic cells are. - prokaryotic cells are always unicellular and eukaryotic cells are often multicellular. - prokaryotic cells reproduce/divide by binary fission and eukaryotic cells reproduce/divide by mitosis/meiosis


Which has only prokaryotic cells?

Plants can only have eukaryotic cells because they themselves are eukaryotic. Only a bacteria (which is a prokaryote) is able to reproduce to form another prokaryotic cell.


Is a prokaryotic cell asexual or sexual?

prokaryiotic cells do produce asexually and sexually


Prokaryotic cells reproduce by a process called?

binary fission


A prokaryotic cell reproduces through a process called what?

Prokaryotic cells reproduce by binary fission (splitting in two).


Do prokaryotic cells grow and reproduce?

Yes, they sure do! Think bacteria: those little boogers wouldn't cover every single surface by the billion unless they could grow and reproduce.


Are prokaryotic bacteria cells reproduced by binary fission?

Yes all bacteria are prokaryotic. Not all bacteria reproduce by binary fission (asexual). Some reproduce sexually by extending tubes and attatching to an other bacteria cell and exchanging genetic material


Is true of prokaryotic cells?

Prokaryotic cells do NOT have a nucleus.


What are prokaryotic cells reproduced by?

Other prokaryotic cells


Do prokaryotic organisms undergo meiosis?

It must or cells would not be able to reproduce. Eukaryotic cells replicate by mitosis. Prokaryotic cells replicate via binary fission.
