Question

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

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

Binary fission does not replicate DNA

Mitosis occurs in the cytoplasm and does not require a nucleus

Answer 1

Binary fission produces two identical daughter cells without the need for complex replication or cellular checkpoints. In contrast, mitosis involves various stages and checkpoints that ensure the accurate replication and distribution of genetic material. Mitosis also takes place within the nucleus of the cell, requiring additional membrane dynamics and intricate coordination of molecular events compared to binary fission.
