Question

In which of the following classes of fungi, sexual reproduction is absent?

• A. Basidiomycetes
• B. Deuteromycetes
• C. Phycomycetes
• D. Ascomycetes

Answer 1

The correct option is B Deuteromycetes

The fungi imperfecti or imperfect fungi, also known as Deuteromycota, are fungi which do not fit into the commonly established taxonomic classifications of fungi that are based on biological species concepts or morphological characteristics of sexual structures because their sexual form of reproduction has never been observed. Only their asexual form of reproduction is known, meaning that these fungi produce their spores asexually, in the process called sporogenesis.

So the correct option is 'Deuteromycetes'.
