Consider this microscopic image of bacteria
which bacterial form is shown in the image?
bacillus
nucleoid
spirillum
coccos

The microscopic image shown in the figure is a coccus.

Explanation:

Bacteria generally exists in different forms or shapes. Based on shape they are categorized as:

Cocci (coccus is singular) - spherical in shape

Bacilli (bacillus is singular) - rod shaped bacteria

Spirillum - twisted shaped bacteria

Nucleoid means nucleus like or you can say irregular shaped bacteria.

If a bacteria exists in many different shapes then we call it as pleomorphic.

the answers are as following:

1. c. double helix, nucleosome, coil, supercoil, chromosome

2. b. g2 phase, preparation for mitosis

3. d. interphase consists of the g1, s, and g2 phases

4. c. metaphase

5. a. chromosomes are duplicated before cell division so that each new daughter cell has a complete set
