Question

Cyanobacteria do not possess __________.

• A. Gene recombination
• B. Flagella
• C. Plasmids
• D. Pigments

Answer 1

The correct option is A Gene recombination

A. Gene recombination

Solution : Gene recombination refers to the rearrangement of DNA sequences by the breakage and rejoining of chromosomes or chromosome segments. Cyanobacteria are prokaryotic organisms. They cannot undergo meiosis and fertilization as they do not have true nuclei. Hence, gene recombination is not possible in cyanobacteria.

So the correct answer is "Gene recombination".
