( ) Binary fission produces two identical daughter cells.
( ) Mitosis occurs in the cytoplasm and does not require a nucleus.
( ) Binary fission does not replicate DNA.
(X) Mitosis has checkpoints that must be met to continue the cycle.
Explanation: Mitosis is more complex because eukaryotic cells have multiple stages, a mitotic spindle, and regulatory checkpoints (G1, G2, M) that ensure accurate DNA replication and segregation, making the process longer and more controlled than binary fission.
