Given below are two statements: Statement I: Mycoplasma can pass through less than 1 micron filter size. Statement II: Mycoplasma are bacteria with cell walls. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Statement I is correct: Mycoplasma are described as the "smallest living cells known" and diagrams indicate sizes around 0.1 µm , which allows them to pass through filters with pore sizes less than 1 micron (a characteristic feature distinguishing them from many other bacteria). Statement II is incorrect: The text explicitly states that "The Mycoplasma are organisms that completely lack a cell wall" .
