Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
A prokaryote is a unicellular organism which lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organelle.
Oscillatoria is a genus of filamentous cyanobacteria.
It reproduces by fragmentation. It forms long filaments of cells which can break into fragments called hormogonia.
The hormogonia can grow into a new, longer filament. Chlorella and Chlamydomonas are genera of single-celled algae and they are eukaryotic.
Chlorella is without flagella and Chlamydomonas is flagellated. Protomyces is an ascomycete fungus and is eukaryotic.
