Mitosis is performed by unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes. Bacteria have their own version of mitosis called “binary fission”. This is distinct from meiosis as bacteria typically have one ...

Unlike eukaryotes, prokaryotes (which include bacteria) undergo a type of cell division known as binary fission.In some respects, this process is similar to mitosis; it requires replication of the ...

The outcome of binary fission is two new cells that are identical to the original cell. In contrast to prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells may divide via either mitosis or meiosis. Of these two ...
