Question

which of the following is incorrect for reproduction....1.unicellular organisms reproduce by cell division...2.reproduction is characteristic of all living organisms...3.in unicellular organisms,reproduction and growth are linked together...4.non living objects are incapable of reproduction

Answer 1

The answer is number 1 because they don't reproduce by cell division cell division is just a part of embryo development

Answer 2

Statement 2. Reproduction is characteristic of all living organisms is incorrect.

• Unicellular organisms like Saccharomyces and E.coli reproduce by budding and binary fission respectively.
• In fission, the cell divides to form two smaller cells called daughter cells. The daughter cells grow to a certain size and again undergo division.
• Reproduction is not a defining characteristic of all organisms since many organisms like mules, worker honeybees, and infertile couples do not breed but are still living
