Document Summary
The ability for a pre-existing cell to give rise to another cell is due to the regulated process of cell division; this can mean different things for many different cells. For prokary cells, cell division is also reproduction since division of one prokary cell will give rise to a new organism. All of the essential elements necessary to reproduce cells are found in the prokary cell. These cells are capable of making exact copies of their genomes and then segregating one copy of each genome to each of 2 daughter cells. Requires that identical genetic material is distributed amongst daughter cells. In prokary, the process of cell division is a form of asexual reproduction (binary fission) Process of cell division is initiated when dna of bacterial chromosome is attached by proteins to the inside of the plasma membrane. Dna replication can then begin along an origin of replication region of the bacterial chromosome.
