The correct Answer is:
C
c. Bacteria divide by biN/Ary fission, it is a mitotic division, each bacterialcell is divided into two identical daughter cellsl Rhizobium is a nodule forming bacterium present in roots of leguminous plants. These bacteria divide by biN/Ary fission.
Meiosis does not take place in bacteria because all bacteria are haploid in N/Ature. They contain only single set of chromosomes.
