The Result of Cell Division At the end of one round of the cell cycle, two identical daughter cells are created from a single parent cell. These daughter cells are considered diploid (2n) because they have two sets of each chromosome (one maternal and one paternal chromosome). Since they are identical, the parent cell is also diploid (2n). This type of cell division will take place in somatic, or body cells, and is used for growth, repair, and a type of asexual reproduction in some organisms.
Only eukaryotic cells perform the stages of the cell cycle, including mitosis. Prokaryotic cells undergo a simpler form of cell division, called binary fission. It is a form of asexual reproduction, resulting in two identical cells. It begins when a prokaryote replicates its DNA and attaches the copy to one part of the cell membrane and the original DNA to another. The cell pulls apart, separating the copy of DNA from the original genetic material, forming two identical cells.

Cells can be classified as prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Bacteria are an example of organisms that are prokaryotic. Plants and animals are eukaryotic. How do organisms who are prokaryotes undergo cell division? Summarize this process using the paragraph above.
