Question

Mitosis and binary fission are both forms of cell division that produce identical, or close to identical, daughter cells. What is a difference between these two processes? Mitosis involves two rounds of divisions, whereas binary fission only involves one round of divisions. Mitosis takes longer because it involves more chromosomes and is a more complicated process. Binary fission involves multiple chromosomes, while mitosis only involves one circular chromosome. Binary fission takes longer because prokaryotic cells are more primitive and slower than eukaryotic cells.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Mitosis takes longer because it involves more chromosomes and is a more complicated process.

Explanation:

The binary fission is a process which divides a parent cell into daughter cells common in prokaryotes. The mitosis is a type of cell division which also produces two daughter cells from a single parent. They are an almost similar process but shows differences like mitosis process evolved in eukaryotes- multicellular organisms which are highly complex and contains a large amount of DNA than prokaryotes.  

The mitosis process is highly complex as first, the cell has to prepare for the cell division then package the DNA into chromosomes and division of these chromosomes followed by cytoplasmic division. This whole process takes longer time and completes in 24 hours whereas the binary fission completes in just 20 minutes.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Mitosis takes longer and involves more chromosomes. it is a more complicated process.
