Question

Bacteria lack alternation of generations because there is

• A. Neither syngamy nor reduction division
• B. Distinct chromosomes are absent
• C. No conjugation
• D. No exchange of genetic material

Answer 1

The correct option is A Neither syngamy nor reduction division

In sexual reproduction, syngamy and meiotic division takes place but in bacteria, during sexual reproduction there is no formation of gametes hence no syngamy and reduction division occurs, bacteria lack alternation of generation. Conjugation and exchange of genetic material takes place in bacteria.

So, the correct answer is 'Neither syngamy nor reduction division'
