The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the incorrect statement regarding asexual reproduction, we will analyze each statement provided in the question step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Asexual Reproduction**: - Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction where offspring are produced from a single parent without the fusion of gametes. The offspring are genetically and morphologically identical to the parent. 2. **Analyzing the Statements**: - **Statement A**: "In asexual reproduction, the offspring produced are morphologically and genetically identical to the parent." - This statement is **correct** because, in asexual reproduction, the offspring are clones of the parent. - **Statement B**: "Zoospores are sexual reproductive structures." - This statement is **incorrect**. Zoospores are actually motile asexual spores that are involved in asexual reproduction, not sexual reproduction. - **Statement C**: "In asexual reproduction, a single parent produces the offspring with or without the formation of gametes." - This statement is **correct** as it accurately describes the process of asexual reproduction. - **Statement D**: "Conidia are the asexual structures in Penicillium." - This statement is **correct**. Conidia are indeed asexual spores produced by the fungus Penicillium. 3. **Identifying the Incorrect Statement**: - After analyzing all the statements, it is clear that **Statement B** is the incorrect statement since it misclassifies zoospores as sexual reproductive structures when they are actually asexual. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement is **B: Zoospores are sexual reproductive structures.** ---
