Why do prokaryotes not undergo mitosis?

Biology

natita [175]3 years ago

The DNA of prokaryotes is not enclosed within a membrane, and is instead localized to a region called the nucleoid. This DNA acts as the prokaryote’s only chromosome, so the process of DNA replication is much quicker. After DNA replication, the original chromosome and its copy seperate. A cleavage furrow forms between the cell, the cell eventually pinches in half, and two identical daughter cells, each with an identical chromosome, are formed.

Prokaryotes such as bacteria propagate by binary fission. ... In bacterial cells, the genome consists of a single, circular DNA chromosome; therefore, the process of cell division is simplified. Mitosis is unnecessary because there is no nucleus or multiple chromosomes. This type of cell division is called binary fission.

Compare and contrast the growth of bacteria in different physical types of media
love history [14]
There are three physical types of media, theses are solid, liquid and semi-solid.
In liquid media, growth occur throughout the media. In solid media, there  are firm surfaces for bacteria to form discreet colonies. This type of media usually contain 1-5% agar. For semi-solid media, this type of media has soft constituency at room temperature and does not flow freely.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

All cells from the body came from a single cell ( fertilization of egg and sperm). All the cell have the same instruction in them. They however undergo certain changes base on the site of their function in process described as cell specialization. During this differentiating process, certain genes are activated to produce proteins that enables specific functions. Example include the myosin present in  abundance in muscle cells but not in lens cell while the lens cell have crystallins in abundance for it adapted activities which the muscles cells lack. others include the root hair cell specially adapted for absorption, the nerve cells for transmission of electrical impulses. This cells generally have certain character controlled by the activated genes which are repressed in others.
