Binary fission vs Mitosis

Question 1

Binary fission occurs in unicellular organisms but mitosis

Answer 1

In somatic organisms cells of multicellular organisms like plants , animals and fungi

Question 2

During Binary fission the prokaryote single strand molecule of nucleic acid ,DNA or RNA begins to replicate .The details of DNA replication in mitosis is different

Answer 2

AS it involves the double helix being unzipped and a whole host of single molecules ,enzymes and cofactors

Question 3

In binary fission there are no spindle fibres the molecule elongates pushing the edges of the cell further apart . When replication is complete two molecules split and the cell membrane begins to cleave , separating identical genomes into two distinct cells in mitosis

Answer 3

spindle fibres pull sister chromatids apart to opposite poles of cells

Question 4

Binary fission doesn’t include all of the steps in mitosis

Answer 4

prophase , metaphase , anaphase, telophase so has no centromeres , sister chromatids , spindle fibres , and other constituent parts of mitosis

Question 5

similarities

Answer 5

Genetically identical cells

genetical material is replicated
