Here are the answers to your questions:

1. **In bacteria, binary fission can be modeled in**:
- **One stage**. Binary fission is typically considered a single process where the bacterial cell elongates, replicates its DNA, and divides into two identical daughter cells.

2. **The process by which a modified stem or root of a parent plant grows offspring that remain attached is called**:
- **Vegetative reproduction**. This method allows for the production of new plants from the vegetative parts (e.g., stem, leaf, root) of the parent plant.

3. **Without external forces, the third generation of a bacterium and the original parent cell will have approximately blank matching DNA sequences**:
- **12.5%**. If we consider binary fission, each generation divides the DNA sequences in half, so: 100% (original) → 50% (first generation) → 25% (second generation) → 12.5% (third generation).

4. **An established bacterial community is exposed to a dark environment for several days; bacteria that require light to reproduce will show blank compared to bacteria that do not require light to reproduce**:
- **Lack of growth**. Bacteria that require light for reproduction would not be able to grow in a dark environment, leading to a lack of growth compared to those that do not have that requirement.
