How does binary fission differ from mitosis?

a) only binary fission produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell
b) binary fission does not require dna replication
c) binary fission does not require breaking down a nuclear membrane
d) only binary fission requires the division of the cytoplasm

C) Binary fission does not require breaking down a nuclear membrane

Explanation:

Binary fission is the process that occurs in some organisms in which organism divided simply to produce two daughter organisms of exactly same genetics as of parent organisms. However, Mitosis is the process that occurs in higher organisms in which cells divide to produce daughter cells that are exactly same as parent cells.

If we look at the process of Binary fission it has four major steps:

So we see that in smaller organisms like bacteria, there is no nuclear membrane, therefore, separation of nuclear membrane is not required. This makes C as the best option.

not too sure maybe olecranon process

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
