DNA replication in bacteria occurs:

1. Within nucleolus
2. Prior to fission
3. Just before transcription
4. During S phase

Correct answer: Prior to fission

Solution

Bacterial DNA is replicated before the cell divides by binary fission, ensuring each daughter cell receives a complete genome. The other choices describe eukaryotic structures or cell-cycle phases that do not apply to bacteria.
