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.
