Question

How are mitosis and binary fission similar?

Answer 1

One commonality is the ability to grow and reproduce through the production of new cells; cell division.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is both produce two daughter cells from one parent cell with the same genetic material.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division producing two daughter cells with the same genetic material while binary fission is a way of asexual reproduction producing two two daughter cells from a single parent.

The process of both the processes are similar in a way that both the process produces two daughter cells by duplicating its genetic material-DNA, then DNA is pulled to the separate poles. The cell then undergoes cytokinesis, dividing the parent cell into two daughter cells, each receiving the same genetic material as of parent cell.

Thus, both produce two daughter cells from one parent cell with the same genetic material is the correct answer.
