The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the characteristics of certain fungi, we will analyze each statement provided and determine which type of fungi they correspond to. The statements discuss various features of fungi, specifically focusing on characteristics that are typical of Ascomycetes, also known as sac fungi. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement I: It includes unicellular as well as multicellular fungi.** - Ascomycetes include both unicellular fungi (like yeast) and multicellular fungi (like molds). This statement is true for Ascomycetes. 2. **Statement II: In multicellular forms, hyphae are branched and septate.** - In Ascomycetes, the hyphae are indeed branched and typically septate (divided by septa). This statement is also true for Ascomycetes. 3. **Statement III: Conidiophore produces conidia (spores) exogenously in chain.** - Conidiophores are structures that produce conidia, which are asexual spores formed externally. This characteristic is true for Ascomycetes. 4. **Statement IV: Sexual spores are ascospores produced endogenously in Ascus.** - Ascomycetes produce sexual spores known as ascospores, which are formed inside a sac-like structure called an ascus. This statement is true. 5. **Statement V: Fruiting body is called ascocarp.** - The fruiting body of Ascomycetes is indeed called an ascocarp. This statement is true. ### Conclusion: All five statements accurately describe characteristics of Ascomycetes (sac fungi). Therefore, the answer to the question is that all the given characters are shown by Ascomycetes. ### Final Answer: All the statements (I, II, III, IV, V) correspond to Ascomycetes (sac fungi). ---

Analyse the following statements about class – Ascomycetes. I. Mycelium is branched and septate. II. The asexual spores are conidia, produced on the special mycelium called conidiophores. III. Sexual spores are called ascospores, which are produced in sac- like asci. Which of the statements given above are correct?

Make corrections wherever you find mistake in spellings/words in the following paragraph/sentences. (A) Protozoans are generally multinucleate, but all ciliates and many amoeboid types are uninucleate. (B) Contractile vacuoles are found in almost all terrestrial protozoans for maitenance of carbon concentration of cell body, the phenomenon is known as osmoregulation. Contractile vacuole also helps in reproduction. (C) The protozoan cell body is either naked or surrounded by a rigid pellicle. Cellulose is present in pellicle. Some protozoans secrete shells of various organic compounds as external covers. (D) Ascomycetes are coenocytic as well as multicellular fungi. In the later, mycelium is asceptate. The asexual spores are formed in chains are called zoospores. The spores are formed endogenously, i.e., inside sporangium. (E) Sexual reproduction in Rhizopus is oogamous and the mode of sexual fusion is gametangial contact type. (F) A lichen is structurally organised entity consisting of the permanent association of a fungus and an alga. The fungal component of a lichen is called phycobiont and the algal component is called mycobiont. Both mycobiont and phycobiont are associated in parasitic union in which the fungus is more predominant and alga is subordinate partner.

Read the following statements and select the option which CORRECTLY identifies the INCORRECT ones. (i) Potato spindle tuber disease is caused by viroids . (ii) Viruses cause diseases like common cold, herpes and AIDS. (iii) Mycoplasma is prokaryotic organisms that completely lack a cell wall. (iv) In Ascomycetes, the asexual spores are conidia produced endogenously on the special mycelium called conidiophores

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
