Select the incorrect statement with respect to fungi
1. | Mycelium is consist of long slender thread like structures called hyphae |
2. | Aseptate and multinucleate hyphae is called coenocytic hyphae |
3. | Dolipore septum is characteristic of class ascomycetes. |
4. | The cell wall is composed of chitin and polysaccharides |
Identify the group of fungi that is not correctly matched with all the characters given below:
1. | Phycomycetes: | Mycelium – aseptate and coenocytic / Asexual reproduction by motile zoospores or by nonmotile aplanospores / spores – endogenously produced in the 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. |
