DNA replication in bacteria occurs

  1. within nucleolus
  2. prior to fission
  3. just before transcription
  4. during S phase

Answer

(2) prior to fission

Solution

Bacteria are prokaryotes: they have no nucleus or nucleolus, and their cell cycle is not divided into G1, S and G2 phases (the S phase is a feature of the eukaryotic cell cycle).

⇒ Bacteria reproduce mainly by binary fission.

∵ Each daughter cell must receive a complete genome, the single circular DNA replicates before the cell divides.

∴ DNA replication in bacteria occurs prior to fission.
