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?

A: Mitosis involves two rounds of divisions, whereas binary fission only involves one round of divisions.

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

C:Binary fission involves multiple chromosomes, while mitosis only involves one circular chromosome.

D: Binary fission takes longer because prokaryotic cells are more primitive and slower than eukaryotic cells.

Answer 1

B - This is correct. Because Binary fission is just 1 chromosome in a bacteria cell.
A - wrong, mitosis involves only 1 round of division where meiosis involves 2.
C - wrong,binary fission involves only 1 chromosome.
D - binary fusion is faster than mitosis because it's 1 chromosome that is being replicated.

Answer 2

The answer should be B. It says that mitosis takes longer, and that is true. Mitosis is also more complicated than binary fission. :) hope it helps.
