The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Parasexual Cycle**: The parasexual cycle is a form of genetic recombination that occurs in certain fungi, allowing for genetic variation without the need for sexual reproduction. 2. **Identifying Organisms**: The parasexual cycle is found in various groups of fungi, including: - Phycomycetes - Deuteromycetes - Ascomycetes - Basidiomycetes 3. **Key Characteristics**: - The parasexual cycle is primarily observed in fungi that reproduce asexually. - It involves several key processes: - Fusion of protoplasm - Fusion of nuclei - Formation of haploid cells 4. **First Discovery**: The parasexual cycle was first discovered in the fungus *Aspergillus nudilens*, which is a member of the Deuteromycetes. 5. **Conclusion**: Among the groups mentioned, the parasexual cycle is most notably associated with Deuteromycetes, which are characterized by their asexual reproduction. ### Final Answer: The parasexual cycle occurs in **Deuteromycetes**. ---
