Difficulty Level:
Identify the group of fungi that is not correctly matched with all the character given:
(1) |
Phycomycetes: |
Mycelium – aseptate and coenocytic / Asexual reproduction by motile zoospores or by nonmotile aplanospores / spores – endogenously produced in sporangium |
(2) |
Ascomycetes: |
Mycelium – unbranched and septate / Asexual spores are conidia / Conidia produced endogenously on conidiophores. |
(3) |
Basidiomycetes: |
Mycelium – branched and septate / Asexual spores are generally not found. |
(4) |
Deuteromycetes: |
Only the asexual or vegetative phase of these fungi are known. |
