In prokaryotes, cell division is by Scissiparity. These cells usually have a single chromosome that replicates before the two chromosomes separate and the rest of the cell divides in turn.
The rapid division of prokaryotes presents some danger.
* A danger for its own population since there will be a rapid consumption of nutrients present in its environment
* A danger for the environment since there will be not only an increased consumption of nutrients but also an accumulation of metabolic waste.
* A danger to multicellular organisms in the case of an infection.
