Answer 1

Answer:

1

Explanation:

Grow by cell division

Answer 2

In unicellular organisms, with respect to growth and  reproduction (c) Both (i) and (ii) is correct.

• As the name suggests, unicellular organisms have only one cell representing their body.
• Coming to the definition of "growth", in an organism it includes an increase in mass and increase in the number of individuals/cells (twin characteristics of growth).
• " Reproduction "can be defined as the production of offspring (new individual)  through replication.
• When it comes to the unicellular organism, a single cell division leads to both, increase in the cell number and the creation of an asexual progeny.
• Hence, growth and reproduction are inclusive events for a unicellular organism.
