Given below are two statements: Statement I : Mycoplasma can pass through less than 1 micron filter size. Statement II : Mycoplasma are bacteria with cell wall. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Step-by-step solution

Statement I : Mycoplasma can pass through even 0 . 22 micron filters which are smaller than 1 micron. So, the statement I is correct. Statement II : Mycoplasma is a pleomorphic bacterium without a cell wall and hence it can easily change its shape, due to which it can pass through the filters easily. So, statement II is incorrect.
