Question

In Rhizopus, hyphae are

• A. Branched, septate and antinuclear
• B. Branched, aseptate and multi nucleate
• C. Unbranched, aseptate and multi nucleate
• D. Unbranched, septate and coenocytic

Answer 1

The correct option is B Branched, aseptate and multi nucleate

Rhizopus is a non- septate fungi, where there are no cross striations. Thus, the cytoplasmic streaming is not restricted to a great extent. Cytoplasm streams inside the hyphae. Hyphae is branched in nature. When there are no separating walls, it makes the hyphae multinucleate.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
