The correct response is: Mitosis has check points that must be met to continue the cycle. Unlike binary fission, mitosis involves a series of complex steps and processes that ensure accurate duplication and distribution of genetic material. These checkpoints monitor the integrity of DNA replication, proper alignment of chromosomes, and correct spindle fiber attachment, among other factors. These checkpoints help maintain the fidelity of genetic information and prevent the generation of defective cells.
