How does Binary Fission by bacteria differ from mitosis?

There are no spindle fibres formed, absence of centrioles, chromosomes are not pulled to the opposite poles of the cell, thus no stages such as prophase, metaphase, anaphase or telophase occurs.





However, both undergoes cytokinesis.

How does Binary Fission by bacteria differ from mitosis?
The bacteria has no spindle fibers.
Reply:the Bacteria has no sindle !! just lended it
Reply:Binary fission makes exact copies of the parent cell (as well, only one bacteria cell is needed, as opposed to mitosis which needs two), where as mitosis produces cells that are not genetically identical to either parent. Thus, mitosis allows for more genetic variability than binary fission does.
