Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prokaryotic cell division does not involve microtubules or a mitotic spindle, which are characteristic of eukaryotic cell division. Instead, the two chromosomes of a prokaryotic cell attach to separating regions of the membrane and are pulled apart by the action of motor proteins, eventually being distributed into the daughter cells. This process does not involve "repellent forces" and is distinct from the mechanisms of eukaryotic cell division.
