Best Answer

Centrioles are absent in prokaryotes because prokaryotes use binary fission instead of mitosis. Binary fission is when a prokaryote chromosome has a DNA molecule that first replicates then attaches all copies to different parts of the cell membrane. When the cell splits, the original and replicate chromosomes split apart and the they each have duplicate DNA.
