Question

Zygospore of Mucor/Rhizopus germinates to form

• A. Mycelium
• B. Promycelium
• C. Hyphae
• D. Germ tube

Answer 1

The correct option is C Hyphae

During sexual reproduction of Mucor/ Rhizopus, compatible strains form short, specialized hyphae called gametangia. At the point where two complementary gametangia fuse, a thick-walled, spherical zygosporangium develops. The zygosporangium typically contains a single zygospore. They may germinate to form hyphae or a sporangium.

So the correct answer is option C.
