Question

Short / Long answer type questions.
Which contributes more to the evolutionary survival of Ascomycotina-conidia or ascospores?

Answer 1

Ascomycotina has been shown to be the largest phylum of fungi, as compared to the other phyla (Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Basidiomycota, and Deuteromycota), with well over 33,000 species identified and named while many others are yet to be described. This phylum is also morphologically diverse with species that range from a single-celled organism to multicellular cup fungi. While a majority of Ascomycota species reproduce asexually, sexual reproduction has also been identified in some phases of reproduction. Its diversity and adaptability made better survival in the earth.
