Question

Deuteromycetes are known as fungi imperfecti because

• A. Their zygote undergoes meroblastic and holoblastic cleavage
• B. Only asexual stages are known
• C. They have aseptate mycelium
• D. They are autotrophic

Answer 1

The correct option is B Only asexual stages are known

Deuteromycetes occur mostly as saprophytes. Deuteromycetes have well-developed, sepatate mycelium and reproduce asexually by means of special spores known as conidia. Basically, Deuteromycetes are known as fungi imperfecti because of a perfectly sexual stage has not been observed.

So, the correct answer is ' Only asexual stages are known '
