Question

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Unlike plasmodial slime molds, cellular slime molds:

• A. can move as an amoeboid mass
• B. are haploid organisms except for the giant-celled zygote
• C. have more than one nucleus per cell
• D. form fruiting bodies

Answer 1

The correct option is B are haploid organisms except for the giant-celled zygote

The vegetative part of cellular slime molds is in a haploid amoeboid cell, it can mate if they come in contact with the correct mating type and form zygotes, diploid zygote becomes a multinucleated plasmodium through multiple nuclear divisions without further cell division.

So, the correct option is 'are haploid organisms except for the giant-celled zygote'.
