The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, "The mycelium is aseptate and coenocytic in:", we need to analyze the characteristics of the different groups of fungi mentioned in the options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Terms**: - **Aseptate**: This means that the mycelium does not have septa (cross-walls) dividing the hyphae. - **Coenocytic**: This refers to a type of mycelium that is multinucleate and lacks septa, forming a continuous mass of cytoplasm. 2. **Review the Options**: - **Phycomycetes**: This group includes the algal fungi, which typically have aseptate and coenocytic mycelium. - **Basidiomycetes**: This group includes mushrooms and has septate mycelium. - **Deuteromycetes**: Also known as imperfect fungi, they generally have septate mycelium. - **Ascomycetes**: This group includes sac fungi and also has septate mycelium. 3. **Identify the Correct Group**: - Among the options, **Phycomycetes** is the only group known for having aseptate and coenocytic mycelium. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer is **Phycomycetes**. ### Final Answer: The mycelium is aseptate and coenocytic in **Phycomycetes**. ---
