Mitosis is a longer and more complicated process of cell division than binary fission primarily because mitosis has checkpoints that must be met to continue the cycle. These checkpoints help ensure that the cell is ready to divide and that any DNA damage is repaired before the cell proceeds with division, adding complexity to the mitotic process. In contrast, binary fission is a simpler and quicker method of reproduction used by prokaryotes, where the DNA is duplicated and the cell divides without the need for checkpoint mechanisms or the organized structure of mitotic phases.
Why is mitosis a longer and more complicated process of cell division than binary fission?(1 point) Responses Binary fission produces two identical daughter cells Binary fission produces two identical daughter cells Mitosis has check points that must be met to continue the cycle Mitosis has check points that must be met to continue the cycle Binary fission does not replicate DNA Binary fission does not replicate DNA Mitosis occurs in the cytoplasm and does not require a nucleus
