Given below are two statements: Statement I: Mycoplasma can pass through less than 1 micron filter size. Statement II: Mycoplasma are bacteria with cell walls. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
To solve this problem, we need to evaluate the correctness of the given statements about Mycoplasma.Statement I: Mycoplasma can pass through less than 1 micron filter size.• Mycoplasma are known to be the smallest free-living organisms, typically around 0.2 to 0.3 microns in size.• Due to their small size, they can indeed pass through filters with pore sizes less than 1 micron.• Therefore, Statement I is correct.Statement II: Mycoplasma are bacteria with cell walls.• Mycoplasma are unique among bacteria because they lack a cell wall.• Instead, they have a flexible cell membrane, which allows them to assume various shapes.• Therefore, Statement II is incorrect.Analyzing the options:• Option 1: Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. This is incorrect.• Option 2: Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. This is incorrect.• Option 3: Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. This is correct.• Option 4: Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct. This is incorrect.Therefore, the correct option is Option 3.
