Question

Consider the following statements and state true(T) or false(F).
(A) In Phycomycetes members, coenocytic mycelium is found.
(B) The common asexual spores in Basidiomycetes are conidia and zoospores.
(C) Mycelium of Ascomycetes is branched and septate.

• A. (A)-T, (B)-T, (C)-T
• B. (A)-T, (B)-F, (C)-T
• C. (A)-T, (B)-T, (C)-F
• D. (A)-F, (B)-T, (C)-F

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

(A)-T, (B)-F, (C)-T

(A)In Pycomycetes, the mycelium does not show the inner septation. There are no cross walls and nuclei are present in the common cytoplasm. Such a mycelium is called the coenocyte. They form asexual spores called zoospores.

(B)Basidiomycetes do not usually show the asexual reproduction. They reproduce sexually through the spores called basidia.

(C)Mycelium of Ascomycetes is branched and septate. They form asexual spores called conidia. Hence, the correct answer is (A)-T, (B)-F, (C)-T
