The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect statements from the given options, we will analyze each statement one by one: ### Step 1: Analyze Statement (i) **Statement (i)**: Karyogamy and meiosis take place in the basidium in club fungi. - **Explanation**: Karyogamy is the fusion of two haploid nuclei, and it does occur in the basidium of club fungi (Basidiomycetes). Following karyogamy, meiosis occurs, resulting in the formation of basidiospores. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement (ii) **Statement (ii)**: Basidiospores are always exogenous. - **Explanation**: Basidiospores are indeed produced externally on the basidium, which means they are exogenous. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement (iii) **Statement (iii)**: Neurospora is never used in biochemical work. - **Explanation**: This statement is incorrect because Neurospora, particularly Neurospora crassa, is widely used as a model organism in genetic and biochemical studies. It has played a significant role in the understanding of genetic recombination and metabolic pathways. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement (iv) **Statement (iv)**: Yeast name is Saccharomyces. - **Explanation**: Saccharomyces is indeed a genus of yeast, commonly known for its role in baking and brewing. The most well-known species is Saccharomyces cerevisiae. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Final Conclusion The only incorrect statement among the options provided is **Statement (iii)**: Neurospora is never used in biochemical work. ### Summary of Incorrect Statements - The incorrect statement is: **(iii)** Neurospora is never used in biochemical work. ---
