Answer:

Mitosis

Step-by-step explanation:

The binary fission is similar to the mitotic division of the cell. In binary fission, the DNA divides first and then locate in the two halves of the cell. Then the cell divides having one nucleus in each. Binary fission is seen in prokaryotic organisms and simpler in process. Mitosis is like the binary fission but has two stages such as interphase and cytokinesis. During interphase, the DNA replication occurs and in cytokinesis, the cellular organelles and cytoplasm divides. Mitosis has found in eukaryotic cells and more complex than binary fission. But the two types of division has a basic pattern of division as a single cell divides into 2, 4.8, 16... number of cells.
