The division of any cell, prokaryotic or eukaryotic, requires that the genetic information in each of the parent cell's chromoso
mes be faithfully copied and distributed into each daughter cell. only then does the cell physically divide. because of their divergent evolutionary paths, bacteria, plants, and animals have somewhat different mechanisms of chromosome separation and cell division.
Bacterial<span> binary fission is similar in some ways to the </span>mitosis<span> that happens in </span>eukaryotes<span> and other humans. In both cases, </span>chromosomes<span> are copied and </span>separated<span>, and the </span>cell<span> divides its cytoplasm to form two new </span>cells<span>.</span>
