phytoplankton
phytoplankton

bacteria
bacteria

protozoans

Answer 1

Mitosis is a process of cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells, leading to the formation of two daughter cells with identical genetic material. Among the options provided:

- **Zooplankton**: Eukaryotic organisms that can undergo mitosis.
- **Phytoplankton**: Eukaryotic organisms that can also undergo mitosis.
- **Protozoans**: These are also eukaryotic and undergo mitosis.

- **Bacteria**: These are prokaryotic organisms and do not undergo mitosis. Instead, they typically reproduce asexually through binary fission.

Therefore, the correct answer is **bacteria**.
