Solution

The correct option is B False
Rhizopus belongs to the fungal family Phycomycetes. The asexual reproduction takes place by zoospore which is motile in nature or aplanospores that are non-motile in nature. As zygospore is formed by the fusion of gametes. A single cell culture of Rhizopus cannot produce a zygospore because it needs two sores.
So, the correct option is 'False'
