Question 10


Sagot :

Answer:

Crossing over

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells are cells that do not possess a membrane bound nucleus to house their genetic material e.g bacteria while eukaryotic cells possess a membrane bound nucleus that houses their genetic material e.g plants.

One important characteristics of prokaryotic cells is that they do not undergo any form of sexual reproduction, hence, cannot undergo MEIOSIS, which only occurs in sexual reproducing organisms. Prokaryotes reproduce asexually by binary fission.

Crossing over is a unique process that only occurs during meiosis. Since prokaryotic cells do not undergo meiosis, this means that crossing over is the difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells in this question.
