The following options have a property of a fungus paired with its example. Which of these is an incorrect pair?
Options
- ASporangiospores - Mucor
- BConidia - Penicillium
- CAsexual reproduction is absent - Agaricus
- DOnly by asexual reproduction - Alternaria
Correct answer
C. Asexual reproduction is absent - Agaricus
Step-by-step solution
In phycomycetes, these asexual spores are endogenously produced in sporangium. Example is Mucor In ascomycetes, conidia are the asexual spores conidia produced exogenously on the special mycelium called conidiophores. Example is Penicillium. In deuteromycetes or imperfect fungi only the asexual or vegetative phases of these fungi are known. Example is Alternaria. In basidiomycetes, asexual spores are not found but asexual reproduction is seen in the form of fragmentation. Example is Agaricus. In Agaricus (mushroom)
