Function of elementary bodies in Mycoplasma is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Reproduction
Uneven division of Mycoplasma cells forms minute structures which are called as elementary bodies. Germination of elementary bodies forms a chain of spherical corpuscles that undergo fragmentation to produce more elementary bodies. These elementary bodies multiply by binary fission/fragmentation/budding to produce new Mycoplasma cells. Thus, they serve a major role in reproduction. So, the correct answer is option C.
