The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the incorrect statements, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i):** "Karyogamy and meiosis take place in the basidium in club fungi." - **Analysis:** In club fungi (Basidiomycetes), karyogamy (the fusion of nuclei) occurs in the basidium, followed by meiosis, which produces basidiospores. This statement is **correct**. 2. **Statement (ii):** "Basidiospores are always exogenous." - **Analysis:** Basidiospores are indeed produced externally (exogenously) on the basidium. This statement is also **correct**. 3. **Statement (iii):** "Neurospora is never used in biochemical work." - **Analysis:** Neurospora is a well-known model organism in genetics and is extensively used in biochemical research. This statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Statement (iv):** "Yeast name is Saccharomyces." - **Analysis:** Saccharomyces is a genus that includes various species of yeast, commonly known as baker's yeast and brewer's yeast. This statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement is **(iii)**: "Neurospora is never used in biochemical work." ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is **(iii)** only. ---
