Mitosis has check points that must be met to continue the cycle

1 answer

The correct response is:

Mitosis has checkpoints that must be met to continue the cycle.

Mitosis is a more complex process involving multiple stages and regulatory checkpoints that ensure proper cell division and DNA integrity, whereas binary fission is a simpler process typically carried out by prokaryotic cells without such regulatory mechanisms.
