Solution

The correct option is A All
Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus and lack organelles.
A prokaryotic cell is usually small (0.1-5.0μm) in size whereas eukaryotic cell size is comparatively larger (5-100μm). Prokaryotic cells multiply very rapidly by asexual means like binary fission, sporulation etc.
Prokaryotic cells are represented by bacteria. BGA. mycoplasma and PPLO(Pleuropneumonia like organism)
Hence the correct answer is (A)
