The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements is correct, let's analyze each option step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A **Statement A:** Mycoplasma has no cell wall. - **Explanation:** Mycoplasma is a type of bacteria that is unique because it lacks a cell wall. This characteristic makes it different from most other bacteria, which do have cell walls. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement B **Statement B:** Viruses can multiply only when they are present inside the living cell. - **Explanation:** Viruses are considered non-living entities when outside a host. They require a living cell to replicate and multiply. Once they enter a host cell, they hijack the cellular machinery to reproduce. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **true**. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement C **Statement C:** True sexuality is not found in bacteria. - **Explanation:** Bacteria reproduce asexually through binary fission. While they can exchange genetic material through processes like conjugation, they do not exhibit true sexual reproduction as seen in higher organisms. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **true**. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement D **Statement D:** Mycoplasma cannot survive without O₂. - **Explanation:** Mycoplasma species are known to be capable of surviving in anaerobic conditions (without oxygen). They are not strictly aerobic and can adapt to various environments. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **false**. ### Final Conclusion After analyzing all the statements: - Statement A: True - Statement B: True - Statement C: True - Statement D: False The correct option that includes all true statements is **A, B, C**. Therefore, the correct answer is **Option C**. ---
