Unlike eukaryotes, prokaryotes (which include bacteria) undergo a type of cell division known as binary fission. In some respects, this process is similar to mitosis; it requires replication of ...

Prokaryotic cells, which include bacteria, undergo a type of cell division known as binary fission. This process involves replication of the cell's chromosomes, segregation of the copied DNA ...

Replication via binary fission can be very fast—the fastest ... differences between "old" and "new" in parent and offspring cells, respectively. By following dividing cells with a microscope ...
