The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the classification of a fungus with specific characteristics, we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Characteristics of the Fungus The fungus in question has hyphae containing nuclei from different genomes, which do not fuse. Additionally, it lacks sex organs but is capable of producing sexual spores. ### Step 2: Analyze the Options We need to analyze the options provided to determine which group of fungi fits the description: 1. **Phycomycetes**: Typically, these fungi reproduce sexually and asexually, but they usually have a clear sexual reproduction phase involving fusion of nuclei. 2. **Zygomycetes**: These fungi also reproduce sexually and asexually, but they primarily undergo sexual reproduction when conditions are unfavorable, involving the fusion of nuclei. 3. **Deuteromycetes**: Known as "imperfect fungi," they do not have a known sexual reproduction stage and reproduce only asexually. 4. **Basidiomycetes**: This group can produce sexual spores without the fusion of nuclei and does not necessarily have sex organs. ### Step 3: Identify the Correct Group Given the characteristics of the fungus: - The presence of different genomes in the hyphae without fusion suggests a unique reproductive strategy. - The ability to produce sexual spores without sex organs aligns with the behavior of Basidiomycetes. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Basidiomycetes**. ---

Sexual reproduction in fungi is carried out by the fusion of compatible nuclei from two parents of compatible nuclei from two parents at a definite stage in the life cycle. Identify the different types of sexual reproduction occurring in fungi from the given figures and select the given figures and select the correct option

Which of these plants is correctly matched with its reproductive characteristics ? (i) Sphagnum : Male sex organ called antheridium produce biflagellate antherozoids while the female sex organ called archesporium produces a single egg . (ii) sequoia : One of the megaspores enclosed within the megasporangium develops into a multicellular female gametophyte that bears two or more archegonia or female sex organs (iii) Wolffia : one of the male gametes fuses with the egg cell to from a zygote while the other male gamete fuses with the diploid secondary nucleus to produce the triploid primary endosperm nuclelus . (iv) polysiphonia . Sexual reproduction is oogamous with non-motile gametes and accompanied by complex post-fertilization developments

A dandelion produces seeds without meiosis or fertillisation. The adult sporophyte forms diploid, rather than haploid, megaspores that develop into ovules containing diploid, rather than haploid nuclei. One of the nuclei in each ovule becomes an egg and develops directly, without fertilisation, into an embryo that is genetically identical to its parent. This type of reproduction is called
