Prokaryotes like bacteria reproduce through binary fission, where the cell duplicates its DNA and other components and then divides into two daughter cells. Eukaryotes undergo the cell cycle of interphase and mitosis, where interphase involves cell growth and DNA replication, followed by mitosis where the cell divides through the stages of prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase resulting in two identical daughter cells.
