What prompts a prokaryotic cell to stop replication and undergo cell division?

There is not enough room for two complete molecules of DNA. Therefore, when the DNA copy is nearly complete, the replication process stops just long enough for the cell to divide

Why can't prokaryotic cells undergo mitotic division?
Mitotic division is the includes division of nucleus and it divides the cell into two daughter cell whereas the prokaryotic cell don't have nucleus and they are divided through the process of binary fission
Cell division in prokaryotes is best characterized as?
a replication of the DNA strand followed by cell elongation and division.
Why prokaryotic cells do not undergo proper mitosis?
because the undergo binary fission, as they have no cell membrane bounded structures or nucleus.
What type of cells does binary fission occur in?
An organism that can undergo binary fission would be a plan ol prokaryotic cell or a protozoan if you want something specific.
Which phase do cells undergo a round of DNA replication?
s phase

Time required for DNA replication in E. coli?
E.coli will take 15 to 20 minutes to undergo the entire cell division cycle exact time for DNA replication is not known.
How does the interphase set up the prophase?
Before a cell can undergo Mitosis (in which prophase is the first stage) It must first undergo synthesize certain proteins, produce organelles for the daughter cells, and arrange the structures for cell division. It also needs to undergo DNA replication.
Which cells undergo cell divisionA. cells do not undergo cell divisionB. prokaryotic cells onlyC. cancer cells onlyD. both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cellsE. None of these answers are correct?
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic
Why prokaryotic cells do not undergo proper mitosis?

What do cells need to do before they undergo mitosis?
Replication of DNA
Why does your body undergo DNA replication?
So as to grow and sustain your life.
Which phase do cells undergo a round of DNA replication?
s phase
Do xylem cells undergo cell division?
No, xylem cells are "dead" cells and therefore do not undergo cell division.
What is a difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA carry genetic information for the development, functioning and reproduction of prokaryotes and eukaryotes respectively. Eukaryotes consist of membranebound nucleus whereas prokaryotes lack a membrane­bound nucleus. Prokaryotic DNA is double­stranded and circular. But, eukaryotic DNA is double­strand and linear. The amount of DNA in prokaryotic cells is much less than the amount of DNA in eukaryotic cells. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA undergo replication by the enzyme DNA polymerase. The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA is that prokaryotic DNA is found in the cytoplasm whereas eukaryotic DNA is packed into the nucleus of the cell.
