Cell division and mitosis in eukaryotic organisms and binary fission process in prokaryotic cells are fundamental processes that ensure cellular reproduction and growth, with human chromosomes genetic material in nucleus playing a crucial role in inheritance.
- Cell division occurs differently in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, with eukaryotes using mitosis and prokaryotes using binary fission
- Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, with genetic material inherited from both parents
- Mitosis produces identical daughter cells through a series of carefully orchestrated steps
- Binary fission in bacteria can occur rapidly under optimal conditions, taking as little as 20 minutes
- Both processes ensure genetic continuity and cellular growth in their respective organisms
