Bacteria do not have nucleus. So they cannot reproduce sexually. Just multiplication of cells occur

Bacteria use mitosis, if they used meiosis, the would have half as many chromosomes and die

Why doesnt bacteria reproduce by mitosis?

it does use mitosis, it doesn't reproduce by meiosis.


Does bacteria and protists use mitosis and meiosis?

NoBacteria cannot under go meiosis or mitosis. Protists can undergo them


Do pigs use meiosis or mitosis?

Many organisms use mitosis and meiosis. Namely, all eukaryotes probably use mitosis and meiosis. Only bacteria (prokaryotes) would not divide by mitosis and have no mechanism for meiosis as their chromosomes differ from those of eukaryotes.But eukaryotes all have the capacity for mitosis and meiosis. Eukaryotes include all animals, plants, protists and fungi.Thus, since pigs are animals (and are thus eukaryotes), then indeed they have cells that divide by mitosis and meiosis. Their body cells (somatic cells) divide by mitosis (for growth and repair). Their gametes (sperm cells and ova) are produced by meiosis as these cells must be divided to a haploid form before copulation and fertilisation. Two haploid gametes would fuse (fertilisation) to restore the resulting cell (zygote) to a diploid form. The zygote grows into a new piglet via mitosis.


Do jellyfish use mitosis or meiosis?

Do clown fish use mitosis or meiosis?

What is the name of the process that cells use to divide?

Mitosis is the process that produces new 2N cells from 2N cells Meiosis is the process that produces 1N reproductive cells.


What two cell division process use DNA replication?

Mitosis and Meiosis


What cells do not divide during mitosis?

Germ cells use a similar, but not identical, process to divide known as meiosis. Many adult cells do not divide at all under normal conditions, such as neurons and red blood cells.


What are 3 things Meiosis and Mitosis have in common?

Meiosis and Mitosis both use centrioles, they both have the same process(except for a few other steps in Meiosis) and they both split cells.


Do human use mitosis or miosis?

Humans use both- mitosis to grow, meiosis to form sex cells for reproduction.


What type of cell undergoes mitosis?

Mitosis is the form of cell division that most eukaryotic cells undergo. In humans, all somatic (non-sex) cells use mitosis to divide. Sex-cells use meiosis instead of mitosis.


What 2 cell division processes use DNA replication?

Two types of cell division in eukaryotes (nucleated organisms) are meiosis and mitosis. Meiosis halves the number of chromosomes and produces gametes. Mitosis retains the number of chromosomes and is involved in growth and repair of injury.
