Explanation:

• Prokaryote:
• Prokaryotes (e.g., bacteria) have a single, circular chromosome.
• Their cell division is simpler, with a contractile ring (FtsZ) involved in cytokinesis.
• Both:
• Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes undergo DNA segregation and cytokinesis during cell division.
• Eukaryote:
• Eukaryotes (e.g., human cells) have multiple linear chromosomes within a nucleus.
• Their cell division (mitosis) involves more complex processes, with a contractile ring (actin and myosin) in cytokinesis.

Answer:

• Prokaryote: Single circular chromosome, simple cell division with FtsZ - based contractile ring.
• Both: Undergo DNA segregation and cytokinesis.
• Eukaryote: Multiple linear chromosomes in nucleus, complex mitosis with actin - myosin contractile ring.
