Mitosis involves the replication of DNA, while binary fission does not. Additionally, mitosis requires the division of the nucleus, whereas binary fission occurs in the cytoplasm and does not involve a nucleus. Moreover, mitosis produces two identical daughter cells, just like binary fission. Lastly, mitosis has checkpoints that must be met in order to ensure proper cell division, which adds to its complexity compared to binary fission.
