When prokaryotic DNA is duplicated, both copies attach to the plasma membrane. As the plasma membrane grows, the attached DNA molecules are pulled apart. The cell completes fission, producing two new prokaryotic cells.

Is cell division a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell?

Cell division occurs in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, cell division is mainly achieved through binary fission, while in eukaryotic cells, it occurs through either mitosis or meiosis.


Does prokaryotic cell have centrioles?

No, prokaryotic cells do not have centrioles. Centrioles are found in eukaryotic cells and are involved in organizing the microtubules during cell division. Prokaryotic cells lack many of the organelles found in eukaryotic cells.


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


What is the division of a prokaryotic cell into two offspring cells called?

binary fission


What is the name of the type of cell division that occurs in the prokaryotic cell cycle?

The type of cell division that occurs in the prokaryotic cell cycle is called binary fission. It is a process where a prokaryotic cell replicates its DNA and divides into two identical daughter cells.


Do prokaryotic cells have no cell membrane?

yes prokaryotic cells have cell membrane


Cell that do not have nucleus?

prokaryotic cells


The eukaryotic cell cycle is different from prokaryotic cell division in all the following ways except?

The eukaryotic cell cycle differs from prokaryotic cell division in the following ways: Eukaryotic cell cycle involves distinct phases (G1, S, G2, M) while prokaryotic division lacks defined phases. Eukaryotic cell cycle includes mitosis and cytokinesis for nuclear and cellular division, whereas prokaryotic division primarily involves binary fission. Eukaryotic cell cycle includes checkpoints for accurate DNA replication and damage repair, which are lacking in prokaryotic cell division.


Does plant cell have Mesosome?

No, mesosomes are structures found in prokaryotic cells, not in plant cells. Mesosomes are used for cellular respiration and are involved in cell division in prokaryotic organisms. Plant cells do not have mesosomes because they are eukaryotic and have a different structure and organization.


How do bacterial cells form a grouping pattern?

The Plane of Division determines Prokaryotic cell grouping patterns.


Is a cell with no nucleus called a prokaryotic cell?

Yes, a cell with no nucleus is called a prokaryotic cell. Prokaryotic cells are generally simpler in structure compared to eukaryotic cells, which have a membrane-bound nucleus. Bacteria are examples of prokaryotic cells.


Does prokaryotic cells have microfilaments?

Prokaryotic cells do not have microfilaments like eukaryotic cells do. Prokaryotic cells lack many of the membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells and have a simpler cytoskeleton that typically includes proteins like MreB and FtsZ for cell structure and division.
