How are Mitosis and Binary Fission both similar and different

1 Answer

2 votes

Both mitosis and binary fission are cell replication mechanisms that give as a result two genetically identical cells.

The main difference between them is that mitosis occurs in eukaryotic cells and its main purpose is the growth of the organism or for regeneration of a tissue, while binary fission happens in prokaryotes organisms and it's the way unicellular organisms, such as bacteria, reproduce.
