Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Cyanobacteria are prokaryotic organisms who lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, chloroplasts.
They also lack a true nucleus.
They are thought to be primitive organisms because they possess an incipient nucleus and show division similar to amitosis.
Amitosis is a method of cell division in which spindle fibres are not formed.
