Q17
General ScienceBiology
The following organism does not exhibit sexual reproduction :
  1. a.Bacteria
  2. b.Cyanobacteria
  3. c.Fungi
  4. d.Algae

Answer: (B) Cyanobacteria

Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) reproduce only asexually, by fission, fragmentation or spores, and no sexual process is known in them. Fungi and algae have clear sexual cycles, and bacteria show genetic recombination by conjugation, often described as a primitive sexual process, so A, C and D are not the intended answer.
