False. As you grow from infant to adult, cells are not added through binary fission. Binary fission is a form of cell division that occurs in prokaryotes, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. In complex organisms like humans, cell division occurs through a process called mitosis, where existing cells divide to produce new cells.
