Mitosis is a longer and more complicated process of cell division than binary fission because it occurs in the cytoplasm and requires a nucleus. Additionally, mitosis involves the replication of DNA, whereas binary fission does not. Moreover, mitosis has checkpoints that must be met to ensure proper cell division, while binary fission simply produces two identical daughter cells.
