    Question

    Assertion (A): Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms without a nucleus.
    Reason (R): Bacteria are eukaryotic organisms.

    A.

    (A) is correct but (R) is wrong

    B.

    Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) explains (A)

    C.

    Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) does not explain (A)

    D.

    Neither (A) nor (R) is correct

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is (A) (A) is correct but (R) is wrong
    Explanation:
    Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that lack a true nucleus, which is a defining feature of prokaryotic organisms.
    ● The reason statement is incorrect because bacteria are not eukaryotic; eukaryotes have a well-defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
    ● Hence, the assertion is true, but the reason is false.
    Information Booster:
    ● Bacteria belong to the Prokaryota group.
    ● Their genetic material is present in a region called the nucleoid.
    ● Bacteria do not have membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria or Golgi bodies.
    ● Examples of eukaryotic organisms include plants, animals, fungi, and protozoa.
    ● Bacteria reproduce mainly by binary fission.
    Additional Knowledge:
    ● The cell wall of bacteria is usually made of peptidoglycan.
    ● Some bacteria are beneficial and used in industries like food and medicine.
    ● Others can be pathogenic and cause diseases such as tuberculosis and cholera.
