Answer:
a)the process is binary fission
b)The stages involved are:
The parent cell first grows bigger by increasing the amount of cytoplasm
the DNA replicates and the nucleus undergoes mitosis, resulting in the formation of two daughter nuclei
the cell membrane constricts thereby dividing the cytoplasm in two so that each nucleus is surrounded by it's own cytoplasm
the two daughter cells separate.
c)the advantage is that offspring take short time to mature
the disadvantage is that it leads to overcrowding and competition for resources.
