How is Binary Fission Similar to the Mitosis/cytokinesis

Question

How is binary fission similar to the mitosis/cytokinesis?
A)both are modes of sexual reproduction
B)both occur only in eukaryotes
C)both occur only in prokaryotes
D)both involve replication of DNA and separation of DNA equally into two daughter cells
E)both give rise to offspring that are genetically different from the parent

Accepted Answer

Binary fission in prokaryotes and mitosis/cytokinesis in eukaryotes both involve the replication of DNA and separation of DNA equally into two daughter cells. Both processes ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical copy of the genetic material. However, binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction, while mitosis/cytokinesis can occur in both asexual and sexual reproduction.
