Why do prokaryotes not undergo mitosis?

Biology
2 answers:
natita [175]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Natalija [7]
Photosynthesis is a process plants and other organisms use to create energy. The energy from sunlight, glucose, water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide are used by the plant to photosynthesize. These chemicals work together within the plant and produce energy. Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis that benefits humans and animals. Photosynthesis is essential for most plants to live.

Why is it necessary to complete the identification of a bacterium based?
Neporo4naja [7]
<span>The trouble with identifying bacteria is that a lot of them look exactly the same. So, identifying by shape and such will only get you so far. However, two kinds of bacteria that look exactly the same under the microscope could have very different physiologists. One may be able to use a certain sugar as an energy source while the other one cannot, for example. Therefore, you can use morphology (physical characteristics) to narrow down the possibilities, but then you must complete the identification using the bacteria's physiology.</span>
