Which among the following is not a prokaryote?

A Oscillatoria
B Saccharomyces
C Nostoc
D Mycobacterium

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Saccharomyces

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

An organism that does not possess a true nucleus (nucleus with nuclear membrane) and double membrane-bounded organelles are called as prokaryotes.
Phylum Monera is the prokaryotes i.e., bacteria (Mycobacterium), cyanobacteria (Nostoc and Oscillatoria).
Whereas, Saccharomyces belong to phylum Fungi which possess a true nucleus and double membrane-bounded organelles i.e., eukaryotic.

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
