Usually, only eukaryotes, such as the human cell, go through mitosis, and because most bacteria, prokaryotes, are single celled organisms, there's usually no need to go through all the complexities of mitosis, when they could just split and reform itself into its own duplicate.

∙ 15y agoThe definition of mitosis is the division of the nucleus. Since the bacteria contains no real nucleus, it does not go through mitosis to divide its DNA.

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoSince bacterial cells lack a nucleus, they cannot perform prophase, in which the nuclear membrane is broken down. Thus, the cell cannot go through mitosis.
