what is the difference between prokaryotic eukaryotic cell division
Eukaryotic cells Main article: mitosis Mitosis: The division of the nucleus, separating the duplicated genome into two sets identical to the parent's. Cytokinesis: The division of the cytoplasm, separating the organelles and other cellular components. Meiosis: The division of the nucleus in sex cells, making one cell into four sex cells identical to the parent sex cell. Eukaryotic cells divide by separating the duplicated chromosomes, through movements directed by microtubles. it protect the organ system of our body.
Prokaryotic cells Main article: binary fission Prokaryotic cells are simple in structure when compared to eukaryotic cells. They contain non-membranous organelles, lack a cell nucleus, and have a simplistic genome: only one circular chromosome of limited size. Therefore, prokaryotic cell division, a process known as binary fission, is fast. The chromosome is duplicated prior to division. The two copies of the chromosome attach to opposing sides of the cellular membrane. Cytokinesis, the physical separation of the cell
