Question

What is the reason for the success of monerans?

• A. Eukaryotic nature and rigid cell wall
• B. Absence of nucleus and other membrane bound organelles
• C. Absence of vacuole and microscopic in nature
• D. Rapid rate of cell division and metabolic diversity

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Rapid rate of cell division and metabolic diversity

Monerans include a wide variety of bacteria. These can survive in extremely hot and saline environmental conditions, they are found in deep water vents, extremely cold temperatures etc. unlike other organisms. They exhibit all forms of nutrition autotrophic, heterotrophic, saprophytic , symbiotic and parasitic (metabolic diversity).Being unicellular under favourable conditions they undergo rapid cell division by amitosis, an asexual form of reproduction.

So, option D is the correct answer.
