Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C 8
- Penicillium belongs to Ascomycetes which produces spores in asci called ascospores.
- Single diploid ascus undergoes meiotic division and produces four haploid nuclei.
- These four new nuclei undergo further mitotic division and produce four pairs of spores or 8 ascospores. Hence, the Number of ascospores formed in an ascus of Penicillium is 8.
- So, the correct answer is "8'.
