The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the characteristics of blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, we need to analyze each option provided: 1. **Understanding Blue-Green Algae (Cyanobacteria)**: - Blue-green algae are classified as cyanobacteria due to their prokaryotic nature. This means they lack a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option (a): DNA without histone**: - Cyanobacteria have DNA that is not associated with histone proteins, which is a characteristic feature of prokaryotic cells. - **Option (b): Nucleus absent**: - Cyanobacteria do not possess a nucleus. Instead, their genetic material is found in the cytoplasm. - **Option (c): Nuclear membrane absent**: - Since cyanobacteria do not have a nucleus, they also lack a nuclear membrane. Their DNA is freely present in the cytoplasm. - **Option (d): All of the above**: - Since options (a), (b), and (c) are all true, this option is also correct. 3. **Conclusion**: - All the characteristics mentioned in options (a), (b), and (c) are true for blue-green algae (cyanobacteria). Therefore, the correct answer is **(d) All of the above**. ### Final Answer: **(d) All of the above**
