I’m simple; for me,
Multiplication and division mean the same.
Although no membrane around my brain,
I’ll drive you insane,
If I am not in the digestion game.
You guys know everything of me,
Like what will be my fate,
To how I mate!
My friend Gram, thinks I have a negative personality,
But trust me, I’m a tool so bright;
Unveiling secrets every day and night.
Ans: Escherichia coli (E.coli)
Explanation:
E.coli is a very “simple” organism (= primitive prokaryote).
In microbiology, division and multiplication both mean that there is a replication of the organism.
It is prokaryotic, meaning it does not have a “membrane” around it’s genetic material called nucleoid (=brain). E.coli is present in our gut and is a part of the microbiota that help in digesting food.
Since it is studied extensively by microbiologists, we know every dimension of its life to the extent-we can even control its mating.
Hans Christian Gram was a scientist who developed
“Gram” Staining that distinguishes bacteria based on presence/absence of an
outer membrane. (=as outer membrane positive or “negative”)
