Question

Penicillium produces chain of non-motile conidia endogenously during asexual reproduction

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Penicillium produces chain of non-motile spores called conidia on special hyphae called conidiophores exogenously. Spores that are produced externally are called exogenous spores, unlike the endogenous spores that develop inside special spore forming structures called sporangia.
