how is prokaryotic cell division different from eukaryotic?
320800
Cell division is simpler in prokaryotes than eukaryotes because prokaryotic cells themselves are simpler. Prokaryotic cells have a single circular chromosome, no nucleus, and few other cell structures. Eukaryotic cells, in contrast, have multiple chromosomes contained within a nucleus, and many other organelles.

Prokaryotic cells differ from eukaryotic cells in that their genetic material is contained in a nucleoid rather than a membrane-bound nucleus. In addition, prokaryotic cells generally lack membrane-bound organelles.

Terms in this set (8) Prokaryotic cells are simpler while eukaryotic cells are more complex. In other words, prokaryotic cells don't have a lot to them, and eukaryotic cells have lots of different parts with different functions. ... They both have DNA, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a cell membrane.

Prokaryotes and eukaryotes are the two main types of cells that exist. They differ in many ways including the lack of nucleus and most other organelles in the prokaryotes. But, prokaryotes do have some organelles including the cell membrane, also called the phospholipid bilayer.

In contrast to prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells are highly organized. Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes, while all other living organisms — protists, plants, animals and fungi — are eukaryotes.

Both organisms are composed of cells, the basic unit of life, with each cell surrounded by a cell membrane. The biggest difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that eukaryotes have a nucleus. They also have other membrane structures called organelles.
1118006
The main difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells is that eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. The nucleus is where cells store their DNA, which is the genetic material. ... All prokaryotes are single-celled (unicellular) organisms. Bacteria and Archaea are the only prokaryotes.

Prokaryotes. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, do not have a nuclear membrane surrounding their cellular DNA, so cell division is happens differently than in eukaryotes. Even though the cell does not undergo mitosis, the end result is the same.
1351533
Eukaryotic cells on the other hand, have multiple points of origin, and use unidirectional replication within the nucleus of the cell. Prokaryotic cells possess one or two types of polymerases, whereas eukaryotes have four or more. Replication also happens at a much faster rate in prokaryotic cells, than in eukaryotes.

One of the main differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is the nucleus. As previously discussed, prokaryotic cells lack an organized nucleus while eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound nuclei (and organelles ) that house the cell's DNA and direct the synthesis of ribosomes and proteins.

Prokaryotes do not undergo mitosis or meiosis. They reproduce through binary fission, which is similar to mitosis (aka nuclear and cell division in eukaryotes). They also do not undergo meiosis, which is the process by which eukaryotes produce halpoid gametes by separating their homologous pairs of chromosomes.

In contrast to prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells are highly organized. Bacteria and Archaea are prokaryotes, while all other living organisms are eukaryotes. Amoebae are eukaryotes whose bodies most often consist of a single cell. ... Their DNA is packaged into a central cellular compartment called the nucleus.

1: Cellular location of eukaryotic and prokaryotic DNA: Eukaryotic DNA is stored in a nucleus, whereas prokaryotic DNA is in the cytoplasm in the form of a nucleoid. ... A major DNA difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes is the presence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in eukaryotes.
457101
The biggest difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that eukaryotes have a nucleus. They also have other membrane structures called organelles. Organelles are structures such as the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria.
159752
Animal and plant eukaryotic cells are also different from prokaryotic cells like bacteria. ... Animal and plant cells contain many organelles not found in prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotes have no true nucleus as the DNA is not contained within a membrane, but is coiled up in a region of the cytoplasm called the nucleoid.
1115793
Prokaryotic cells are very simple, compared to eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus nor any membrane bound organelles. In contrast, eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
773795
Prokaryotic cells are much smaller and much simpler than eukaryotic ones. They have no true membrane bound nucleus and no other membrane bound organelles. They also have a cell wall, smaller ribosomes and may have other features.
