No, they do not. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again.

No, only living cells divide by binary fission. Viruses are not alive.

Do prokaryotic cell divide mitotically?

Most prokaryotes multiply by mitosis, but some undergo various processes of genetic recombination such as transformation and transduction. These processes result in new strains of bacteria and viruses because they utilize some genes from other prokaryotes.


What process is used by bacteria to divide and reproduce?

Bacteria typically reproduce through a process called binary fission, where a bacterial cell divides into two identical daughter cells. In this process, the bacterial cell duplicates its genetic material and then splits into two separate cells. This allows bacteria to rapidly multiply and increase their population.


Describe the process of reproduction in bacteria?

Conjugation is a sexual form of reproduction in bacteria. It is when the DNA/RNA from one bacteria crosses to another bacteria to reproduce through a pilus. Binary Fission is an asexual form of reproduction in bacteria when the cell splits and forms two new bacteria.
