Answer 1

In bacteria, binary fission can typically be modeled in three stages. The stages are:

1. DNA replication: The bacterial chromosome is replicated, resulting in two identical copies.
2. Cell growth and separation: The cell enlarges and begins to divide by forming a septum.
3. Cell division: The cell divides into two distinct daughter cells, each containing a copy of the DNA.

So the correct response is three stages.
