Cell division is a type of reproduction in unicellular organisms. Comment.

Answer 1

In unicellular organisms all the important functions are carried out by the single cell because they lack all cellular organelles. The two types of reproduction, i.e., sexual and asexual, need the involvement of many organelles and biomolecules. Hence, these modes of reproduction are absent in prokaryotes. Unicellular organisms are the simplest organisms. Therefore, cell division acts as the mode of reproduction and results in the production of daughter cells.
