Asked by daniel
Which series lists the correct order of steps of binary fission from first to last?
sex pilus connects two cells ® plasmid DNA is transferred ® complementary DNA strands are created ® cells separate
live cells bind to degraded cells ® DNA is transported across the membrane ® DNA is incorporated into recipient's DNA
virus infects bacterial cell, new viruses are made ® DNA is assembled in new virus ® new virus infects another bacterial cell and transfers DNA
DNA is copied ® DNA molecules attach to cell membrane ® cell membrane elongates and pinches off ® two identical cells are produced

The fourth series:
DNA is copied → DNA molecules attach to cell membrane → cell membrane elongates and pinches off → two identical cells are produced.
(Options 1–3 describe conjugation, transformation, and transduction, respectively — all forms of horizontal gene transfer, not binary fission.)
