Question
What is the process of cell division in prokaryotes?

Answer

Prokaryotes do not have nucleus. So, there is no elaborate karyokinesis, as seen in eukaryotes. In prokaryotes the replication of DNA starts the process of cell division. Once genetic material is replicated, it is followed by division of cytoplasm. The process is known as binary fission.

Kavita (student of class VIII) returned from the school and started counting her teeth. She felt surprised and counted her teeth two more times, but each time she count, she found her teeth to be 28 in number. Then, she started counting his younger brother (student of class I) teeth and found them to 20 in number. She rushed to his father who was a dentist and told him, that her teacher taught her that human beings have 32 teeths. But she has only 28 and his brother has 20. Her father explained that number of teeth are related to the age of a child and also told her about diphyodont and heterodont dentition.
