5. Describe the similarities and differences between mitosis and binary fission. 1 sentence

1 answer

Mitosis and binary fission are both processes of cell division that result in the replication of genetic material and the formation of two daughter cells; however, mitosis occurs in eukaryotic cells and involves multiple stages and organelle division, while binary fission is a simpler, direct method of division in prokaryotic cells that entails the replication of circular DNA and subsequent splitting of the cell.
