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.

Do prokaryotic cells grow and reproduce?

Yes, prokaryotic cells can grow and reproduce. They do this through binary fission, where the cell duplicates its genetic material and divides into two daughter cells. This process allows prokaryotic cells to increase in number and population.


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


Why do Prokaryotic cells divide?

Single celled organisms really don't think about things but when the place that they find themselves in has plenty of food and water, that will trigger the 'let's make more of us' process. The cells also wear out and have to be replaced. It is why we also reproduce.


What statements is true about prokaryotic cells?

Prokaryotic cells are simple in structure and lack membrane-bound organelles such as a nucleus. They have a single circular chromosome and reproduce mainly through binary fission. Prokaryotic cells are typically smaller in size compared to eukaryotic cells.


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.

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
