Outline the process by which prokaryotic cells reproduce.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Prokaryotes are the unicellular evolutionary precursors to the eukaryotes. They are microscopic (0.1 to 0.5 micrometer in size) that have suspended nucleus without the nuclear membrane and a few cellular organelles. The cell wall helps in maintaining the cell shape and prevents dehydration.
