Question

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
The slug-like phase of the cellular-slime mold life cycle is called:

• A. plasmodium
• B. pseudoplasmodium
• C. sporangia
• D. macrocyst

Answer 1

The correct option is B pseudoplasmodium

A morphological difference between cellular slime molds and acellular slime moulds is in cellular slime molds the vegetative state is a haploid ameboid cell, whereas acellular slime molds the vegetative state is a multinucleate diploid ameboid mass called a Plasmodium. Haploid ameboid cells cease feeding and clump together to form a slug-like pseudoplasmodium.

So, the correct option is 'pseudoplasmodium'.
