Select the correct statements among the following.
Options
- APolluted water bodies usually have a very high abundance of plants like Nostoc and Oscillitoria.
- BDiatoms are also called as ‘pearls of the ocean’
- CNeurospora - an ascomycetes fungus has been used as a biological tool
- DAll the statement are correct
Correct answer
D. All the statement are correct
Step-by-step solution
Neurospora - an ascomycetes fungus has been used as a biological tool to understand the mechanism of plant genetics. Diatoms are majorly phytoplankton which are the chief producers of the ocean. Hence known as “pearls of oceans”. Polluted water bodies are rich in nutrients especially in nitrogen content which provides favourable condition to algae like Nostoc and Oscillotoria to bloom in the water bodies.
