In what way is binary fission different from mitosis?

A. it result in the production of daughter cells

B. it involves of separation of copied genetic material

C. it is unable to provide the genetic diversity necessary of survival

D. it is used primarily by prokaryotes for asexual reproduction

The correct answer is option D-it is used primarily by prokaryotes for asexual reproduction.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division which is used by the organism which reproduces through the asexual mode of reproduction.

Binary fission is also a type of asexual reproduction which is common among prokaryotes like bacteria, archaea and protists where a cell divides producing two daughter cells.

But these both modes of asexual reproduction have a difference as mitosis is present in higher multicellular organisms also along with few lower organism whereas binary fission is present in prokaryotes only.

Thus, option D-it is used primarily by prokaryotes for asexual reproduction is the correct answer.

D. it is used primarily by prokaryotes for asexual reproduction.
