Bacterial binary fission is similar in some ways to the mitosis that happens in humans and other eukaryotes. In both cases, chromosomes are copied and separated, and the cell divides its cytoplasm to form two new cells. However, the mechanics and sequence of the two processes are fairly different.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is the process that is very similar to binary fission. Binary fission mainly occurs in prokaryotes like bacteria while mitosis occurs in prokaryotes as well as Eukaryotas like plant and animal cell.

Mitosis occurs in the place of injury and also maintains the shape of the body. Both binary fission and mitosis leads to the formation of two identical cells. However, the process by which binary fission and mitosis occurs are completely different.
