Flashcards

Binary Fission

Cell division in prokaryotes where the cell splits into two identical copies.

Mitosis

Cell division in eukaryotes, resulting in two identical daughter cells.

Prokaryote Size

Prokaryotic cells typically range from 0.2 to 2.0 μm in diameter.

Eukaryote Size

Eukaryotic cells typically range from 10 to 100 μm in diameter.
