Binary fission in bacteria can be modeled in two stages.

To determine the correct answer, let's break down the process of bacterial binary fission and see how many stages are involved.
1. First, the bacterial cell undergoes DNA replication, where the genetic material is duplicated.
2. Next, the cell elongates as the two copies of the DNA separate.
3. The cell membrane starts to grow inward at the center of the cell, which is called the septum formation.
4. Finally, the septum completely forms, resulting in the division of the cell into two identical daughter cells.
Based on this breakdown, it is evident that the process involves four stages: DNA replication, cell elongation, septum formation, and cell division.
Therefore, the correct answer is four stages.
