Q. Consider the following statements I. Bacteria reproduce only by binary fission II. Under unfavourable conditions, bacteria produce several types of spores III. Bacteria reproduce by a sort of sexual reproduction by adopting a primitive type of RNA transfer from one bacterium to other Which of the statements given below are correct?
