Why do prokaryotes not undergo mitosis?

Biology
2 answers:
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.

What type of change is boiling water? why
Rasek [7]
Boiling water is a physical change. This is because the water that is being changed into a gas, and can be changed back. Bohr proposed a theory that helped make the blueprint for the atomic model. Gold is a soft but heavy metal, and reflects light with a green/blue hue. Gold is a shiny yellow to canary yellow in colour, and is often confused with pyrite, or 'fool's gold'. The particles in a solid vibrate in place, and are very close together. When one atom of carbon and two of oxygen meet, the make a bond that in turn creates CO2 or carbon dioxide. I hope I helped. :)

What’s needed for dna to be copied
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The need for DNA replication

DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical copy of its DNA. This process is performed at the beginning of every cell division so that when the cell divides, each daughter cell will inherit an identical copy of the DNA.

Requirements for DNA replication

Original DNA template - DNA is a double helix made of two complementary strands. Each strand can be used as a template to create a new DNA molecule.

Free DNA nucleotides – needed to form the new strands.

DNA polymerase – an enzyme that adds new nucleotides to a growing strand of DNA.

Primers – A primer is a short strand of nucleotides that will bind to the 3’ end of the template DNA strand allowing DNA polymerase to add free DNA nucleotides.
