sexual reproduction meiosis mitosis binary fission
much more complex based on the relatively large amount of genetic material present in bacteria used to produce genetic diversity in bacterial populations which is unnecessary in eukaryotic cells much more complex based on the large number of internal structures present in bacteria more simplistic than eukaryotic cell division
attachment of the DNA to the plasma membrane pinching of the plasma membrane separation of daughter cells DNA replication
the amount of DNA present whether the DNA is linear or circular whether the DNA is housed in a nucleus or not all of the above are differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA
