Question
Why is mitosis a longer and more complicated process of cell division than binary fission?(1 point) Responses Binary fission does not replicate DNA. Binary fission does not replicate DNA. Mitosis has checkpoints that must be met to continue the cycle. Mitosis has checkpoints that must be met to continue the cycle. Binary fission produces two identical daughter cells. Binary fission produces two identical daughter cells. Mitosis occurs in the cytoplasm and does not require a nucleus.

The correct response is: **Mitosis has checkpoints that must be met to continue the cycle.**
Mitosis is a more complex process involving multiple phases (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase) and has regulatory checkpoints to ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase. In contrast, binary fission is a simpler process that occurs mainly in prokaryotes, without the need for a nucleus or the complexity of checkpoints.
