Cell division is a type of reproduction in 

botany bacteria bacteria - introduction, shape and structure bacteria: types and structure bacteria; benefits and harmful effects non cellular organism : virus world of virus

  1. Unicellular organisms

  2. Multicellular organisms

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cell division is the process in which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. The unicellular organism divides and results in the formation of daughter cells and hence, cell division is a type of reproduction in unicellular organisms. Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Surface appendages used by -bacteria to attach to one another and to host organisms are called:

  1. thylakoids

  2. mesosomes

  3. pili

  4. spirilla

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
A pilus is a thin, rigid fiber made of protein that protrudes from the cell surface. The primary function of pili is to attach a bacterial cell to specific surfaces or to other cells. So, the correct option is 'pili'.

Which of the following organisms do not depend on reproduction to exchange genetic information?

  1. Animals

  2. Plants

  3. Bacteria

  4. Fungi

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Bacteria have three mechanism for genetic information transfer without undergoing reproduction-
1. Transformation- take up free fragment of DNA floating in medium. 
2. Transduction- transfer of DNA by a virus bacteriophage.
3. Conjugation- direct cell to cell transfer of DNA mediated by plasmid. So, option C is correct, all other options depend on reproduction for exchange of genetic material.

Correct sequence of layer of bacterial cell envelope from outward to inward is
botany the world of microbes bacteria - introduction, shape and structure bacteria: types and structure bacteria; benefits and harmful effects non cellular organism : virus world of virus

  1. Cell wall $\rightarrow$ Glycocalyx $\rightarrow$Cell membrane

  2. Cell membrane $\rightarrow$ Glycocalyx $\rightarrow$ Cell wall

  3. Glycocalyx $\rightarrow$ Cell wall $\rightarrow$ Cell membrane

  4. Glycocalyx $\rightarrow$ Cell membrane $\rightarrow$ Cell wall

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Glycocalyx is the outermost layer of the cell envelope. Cell wall lies between plasma membrane and glycocalyx.

So, the correct answer is 'Glycocalyx → Cell wall → Cell membrane'.

Amoeba and Yeast reproduce asexually by fission and budding respectively, because they are.
