Members of the fungal class Phycomycetes are unique among fungi in several ways. Which of the following features is NOT characteristic of Phycomycetes?
Presence of coenocytic hyphae
Production of zoospores with flagella
Formation of asci containing ascospores
A tendency to thrive in aquatic or moist environments
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic feature of Fungi?
Heterotrophic nutrition
Cell wall made of chitin
Reproduction by spores
Autotrophic nutrition
In which of the following organisms are spores produced exogenously after karyogamy and meiosis?
Ascomycetes
Basidiomycetes
Zygomycetes
Oomycetes
Which structure is associated with the exogenous production of spores after karyogamy and meiosis in Basidiomycetes?
Asci
Basidia
Sporangia
Conidia
The exogenous production of spores after karyogamy and meiosis is a characteristic feature of:
Mushroom formation
Yeast budding
Bacterial conjugation
Basidiomycetes
If karyogamy is followed by meiosis and spores are produced exogenously, which fungal group is likely being described?
Ascomycetes
Zygomycetes
Chytridiomycetes
Basidiomycetes
Unlike Basidiomycetes, where spores are produced exogenously after karyogamy and meiosis, Ascomycetes produce spores:
Endogenously
Exogenously
Through fragmentation
By budding
All of the following are important considerations in fungal taxonomy EXCEPT:
Structure of hyphae
Mode of spore formation
Presence/absence of a dikaryotic stage
Economic importance
Auxospores and homocysts are formed, respectively by
Diatoms and Dinoflagellates
Euglenoids and Diatoms
Diatoms and some Cyanobacteria
Brown algae and Red algae
Consider the following statements
I. Mycelium is branched and septate
II. The asexual spores are generally not formed
III. Vegetative reproduction takes place by framentation
IV. Sex organs are absent but sexual reproduction takes place by somatogamy
V. Karyogamy and meiosis takes place in basidium to form haploid four basidiospores
Vi. Basidia are arranged in fruiting bodies called basidiocarp
The above statements are assigned to
Sac fungi
Bracket fungi
Imperfecti fungi
Club fungi
