The correct response is:
**Mitosis has check points that must be met to continue the cycle.**
Mitosis is a more complex process than binary fission because it involves multiple stages (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase) and regulatory checkpoints to ensure accurate division of chromosomes and maintain genetic integrity. In contrast, binary fission is a simpler and faster process typically occurring in prokaryotic cells, where the cell simply divides into two identical daughter cells without the need for complex regulatory mechanisms.
