Here's a breakdown:
* Binary fission: This is the process used by prokaryotic cells (bacteria and archaea) to reproduce. It's a simpler process than mitosis and cytokinesis. The cell's DNA replicates, and the cell then divides into two identical daughter cells.
* Mitosis and cytokinesis: This process is used by eukaryotic cells (plants, animals, fungi, protists). It's a more complex process that involves the division of the nucleus (mitosis) followed by the division of the cytoplasm (cytokinesis).
In summary:
* Prokaryotic cells use binary fission.
* Eukaryotic cells use mitosis and cytokinesis.
