Binary fission in bacteria is similar to mitosis in eukaryotic cells because both:
Produce two daughter cells genetically identical to the parent cell.
Produce gametes.
Produce cells with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
Are forms of sexual reproduction.
Crossing over and independent assortment during meiosis increases:
The number of gametes produced
Genetic variation
Cancerous growths

Cancer cells are bigger than ordinary cells.
Cancer cells reproduce at much faster rates than healthy cells.
Cancer cells contain viruses and bacteria that aren't present in healthy cells.
Cancer cells divide - healthy cells do not.
