Answer:

through lysogenic cycle

Explanation:

The bacteriophage attaches itself on the bacterial surface. The DNA strand to be replicated is injected into the bacteria by the bacteriophage. The DNA integrates into the bacterial chromosome and becomes a pro-phage.

The bacterial cell proceeds to cell division through budding. The progeny possess the bacteriophage. After complete replication, the virus DNA detaches from the host genome and enters the lytic cycle. The capsid heads assemble on the surface of bacterial cell to package the fully matured viral DNA . The phage produces lytic enzymes that weaken the cell wall of bacteria cell.

The answer would be: <span>Binary fission involves a single parent cell, so there is only one set of genetic information that can be duplicated and passed on to the daughter cells.

If you see the picture, it is clear that there is only 1 parent involved in binary fission. This will exclude the first and third option.
The genetic duplicated before splitting, so the cells should have an equal number of parent genetic material, not halves. This will exclude the second option.
