I: | Bacteria, as a group, show extensive metabolic diversity |
II: | Only some bacteria are capable of biological nitrogen fixation |
I: | 'Dikaryon' and 'Zygote' are synonymous |
II: | 'Dikaryon' and 'Zygote' are diploid cells that produce gametes |
I: | Fungi: Saprotrophs |
II: | Lichens: Mutualism |
III: | Malarial parasite in human RBC-commensal |
I: | Bacteria reproduce sexually |
II: | Transformation of a bacterial cell is sexual reproduction |
I: | cause the water laden food to be steered into the gullet |
II: | are not involved in movements as paramoecium is not motile |
Statement I: | Ascospores are sexual spores and are produced endogenously. |
Statement II: | Basidiospores are asexual spores and are produced exogenously. |

Assertion (A): | Archaea are often found in extreme environments like hot springs and salt pans due to their unique cell wall structure. |
Reason (R): | The cell walls of Archaea contain peptidoglycan, which provides resistance to extreme conditions. |
