Loud Buzzer!
"Binary fission" is in prokaryotes (bacteria), not eukaryotes.

Cell division in eukaryotes is "mitosis." Don't confuse it with "meiosis" which is a special kind of cell division where a 2N cell splits into 1N cells (half as much DNA).

So your answer is "mitosis."

Sorry. I was just teasing. :)

A friend of mine used to do that to me when I made a mistake. It was a joke. No offense intended.
