Although prokaryotes do not have an organized nucleus and other complex organelles found in eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic organisms share some common features with eukaryotes as far as cell division is concerned. For example, they both replicate DNA in a semi conservative manner, and the segregation of the newly formed DNA molecules occurs before the cell division takes place through cytokinesis. Despite such similarities, the prokaryotic genome is stored in a single DNA molecule, whereas eukaryotes may contain a varied number of DNA molecules, specific to each species, seen in the interphasic nucleus as chromosomes. Prokaryotic cells also differ in other ways from eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes do not have cytoskeleton and the DNA is not condensed during mitosis. The prokaryote chromosomes do not present histones, the complexes of histonic proteins that help to pack eukaryotic DNA into a condensate...
