Consider the given two statements.
Statement I: | Morels and truffles belong to Ascomycetes. |
Statement II: | Rusts and smuts belong to Basidiomycetes. |
1. | The mycelium is aseptate and coenocytic |
2. | Asexual spores are generally not found |
3. | Sex organs are absent |
4. | Basidiospores are exogenously produced on the basidium |
Column I | Column II | ||

C. | Euglenoids | c. | Spores with true walls |
D. | Slime moulds | d. | Two flagella, one transverse and one longitudinal |
A | B | C | D | |
1. | b | a | c | d |
2. | b | d | a | c |
3. | b | c | a | d |
4. | b | a | d | c |
1. | Archaea have a similar cell wall structure to bacteria. |
2. | Archaea are known for their ability to survive in extreme conditions. |
3. | Archaea contain peptidoglycan in their cell wall composition. |
4. | Archaea have membrane bound organelles. |
Assertion (A): | Lichens are considered excellent indicators of air pollution. |
Reason (R): | They thrive in polluted areas as they use the pollutants as nutrients. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (R) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
A: | Locomote by means of a flagellum |
B: | Have a rigid cell wall |
C: | Do not have chloroplast |
1. | They are predominantly aquatic fungi with flagellated zoospores. |
2. | They reproduce sexually through the formation of basidiospores. |
3. | They possess a dikaryotic stage in their life cycle. |
4. | Their spores are typically produced internally in a sac-like structure called an ascus. |
1. | They thrive in environments with high concentrations of nitrogen and sulphur compounds. |
2. | They are sensitive to airborne pollutants, which disrupt their symbiotic relationship. |
3. | They absorb heavy metals from the environment promoting their growth. |
4. | They can metabolize and break down organic pollutants in the air. |
Statement I: | Lichen is a stable symbiotic association between a fungus and algae and/or cyanobacteria. |
Statement II: | Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a plant's root system. |
1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
