In which organism does sexual reproduction occur by conjugation?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a algae
- b Penicillium
- c yeast
- d bacteria
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: a algae
Algae are Protista, and Protista reproduce sexually by conjugation.
Why the other options are wrong
- b Penicillium: Penicillium is a fungus; it reproduces by haploid spores.
- c yeast: Yeast is a fungus; the book says fungi reproduce by haploid spores, not conjugation.
- d bacteria: Bacteria are Monera; the book says they divide by binary fission.
