Binary fission reproduces a replica while meiosis reproduces a similar offspring. In binary fission, two cells are produced from one parent cell, while four cells are produced from one parent cell in meiosis.

What is not part of the process of binary fission?

Sexual reproduction is not part of the process of binary fission. Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction where a cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells.


How is binary fission prokaryotic organisms similar to and different from mitosis and cytokinesis in single-celled eukaryotic organisms?

Binary fission in prokaryotic organisms is similar to mitosis and cytokinesis in single-celled eukaryotic organisms as they both result in two daughter cells being formed. However, binary fission lacks the phases of mitosis seen in eukaryotic cell division, such as prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Instead, binary fission directly splits the cell into two identical daughter cells.


What is cell division in prokaryotes called?

Cell division in prokaryotes is called binary fission. During binary fission, the cell's DNA is duplicated and the cell divides into two daughter cells, each containing a copy of the genetic material.


What type of asexual reproduction is the same as mitosis?

Binary fission is the type of asexual reproduction that is similar to mitosis. In binary fission, a cell replicates its DNA and splits into two identical daughter cells, which is similar to the process of mitosis in which a cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells.


How does cell division occur in prokaryotes?

In prokaryotes, cell division occurs through a process called binary fission. It involves DNA replication, elongation of the cell, and division of the cell into two identical daughter cells. The process is simpler compared to eukaryotic cell division (mitosis or meiosis) because prokaryotes lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
