Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Prokaryotes are the unicellular organisms that are believed to be the primary inhabitants of the planet earth. They lack cellular membrane-bound cellular organelles and does not possess a defined nucleus. The mode of reproduction in the prokaryotes is observed to be that of asexual reproduction such as binary fission
