Prokaryotic genetics[edit]

Prokaryotic genetics is the field of study concerned with the ways in which prokaryotes replicate, regulate and structure their DNA.

Prokaryotic genetics is significantly different from eukaryotic genetics, as prokaryotes do not undergo meiosis and sexual reproduction like eukaryotes. Prokaryotes instead use transposable elements and plasmids in order to exchange genetic material, which require separate systems for regulation and replication. Investigation into these systems is important in the manipulation of prokaryotes in biotechnology, and for an understanding of the development and spread of antibiotic resistance.
