The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which fungus does not have a branched and septate mycelium, we will analyze each of the options provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mycelium**: - Mycelium is the vegetative part of a fungus, consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like structures called hyphae. - Mycelium can be branched and septate (having cross-walls) or non-septate (coenocytic) and unbranched. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Neurospora**: - Neurospora belongs to the Ascomycetes class. - Ascomycetes typically have branched and septate mycelium. - Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Colitrotrichum**: - Colitrotrichum also belongs to the Ascomycetes class. - Similar to Neurospora, it has branched and septate mycelium. - Thus, this option is also incorrect. - **Basidiomycetes**: - The question mentions a third option that belongs to Basidiomycetes. - Basidiomycetes are known for having branched and septate mycelium as well. - Hence, this option is incorrect. - **Albugo**: - Albugo belongs to the class Phycomycetes. - Phycomycetes are known to have non-branched and non-septate mycelium. - They are obligate parasites and their hyphae are often unbranched and can be intracellular. - Therefore, this option is correct as it does not have branched and septate mycelium. 3. **Conclusion**: - The fungus that does not have a branched and septate mycelium is **Albugo**. ### Final Answer: **Albugo**
