Explanation: Eukaryotic mitosis is more complex because chromosomes are packaged in a nucleus, require condensation, spindle formation, and multiple regulated checkpoints (G1, G2, spindle) to ensure accurate DNA segregation. Binary fission is simpler and faster in prokaryotes, involving DNA replication and segregation without those checkpoints or structures.
