Why do prokaryotes not undergo mitosis?

Biology
2 answers:
natita [175]2 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.

If your blood sugar level is low from skipping lunch what reaction will occur in your liver cells
Vadim26 [7]
The answer is Glycogenolysis

When we are hungry or skipped a meal our  glucagon, <span>an hormones</span> that regulates blood-sugar levels, is released to avoid glucose levels in the blood to decrease to a risky value.

Glucagon makes the liver, but also the muscle, to breakdown accumulated glucose called glycogen into glucose to increase blood-sugar levels. This process is called Glycogenolysis and can also be  stimulated by an increase in epinephrine during  fight-or-flight responses.
