Detailed explanation-1: -Binary fission is different from mitosis because prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus like eukaryotes. Also, there is no mitotic spindle formation in the nucleus during binary fission.

Detailed explanation-2: -3)Both mitosis and binary fission involves copying of DNA. The entire process of how the DNA is copied is also nearly similar in both mitosis and binary fission. Both involve replication and separation of chromosomes and cytokinesis that is the division of the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both Binary Fission and Mitosis Produce Genetically Identical Cells. Cell division by either binary fission or mitosis produces two genetically identical cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Binary fission is similar to mitosis in the way that the process ultimately leads to the production of two identical daughter cells. However, they differ in many aspects. While binary fission is for reproductive purposes mitosis is primarily for growth in multicellular organisms.
