Question

Meiotic division is not found in

• A. Plant cell
• B. Animal cell
• C. Bacteria
  
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Bacteria

Unlike in the plant and animal cells where both mitosis and meiosis can be seen, the bacterial cells do not divide through mitosis or meiosis. They divide through a process called binary fission. The binary fission process though appear to be similar to the mitosis seen in the somatic cells of plants and animals, there are some differences; like the absence of spindle fibres and the absence of a gap between the 's" Phase and the 'M' Phase that can be seen in the mitosis process. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
