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 process of cell division can mean different things to different organisms. For some cells, such as prokaryotic cells, cell division is also reproduction since the division of one prokaryotic cell will give rise to a new organism (made up of one cell). All of the essential elements necessary to reproduce cells are found in the prokaryotic cell. These cells are capable of making exact copies of their genomes and then segregating one copy of each genome to each of two daughter cells. The process of cell division in prokaryotes requires that identical genetic material is distributed amongst daughter cells. In prokaryotes, the process of cell division is a form of asexual reproduction that is often referred to as binary fission.
