MAMP - Existing Apache and PHP

I am very new to Mac OS as well as to MAMP.

So, Mac OS X comes preloaded with Apache web server, PHP, etc. I have a question regarding installing MAMP:

Will PHP, Apache, etc. installed with MAMP replace pre-loaded ones? Or will MAMP install a second instance of each of them?

Thank!

Mamp will install the service on port port 8888, 8889 for apache, mysql. New Apache installation Apache will work on

localhost:8888

Removing these services from MAMP is easy, since removing the MAMP folder from applications
