Identify the incorrect statement regarding body organization in fungi:
1. | With the exception of yeast, fungi are filamentous. |
2. | Their bodies consist of long, slender hyphae that may be coenocytic or septate. |
3. | The network of hyphae is known as the mycelium. |
4. | The cell walls of fungi lack chitin and polysachharides. |
Which of the following is not used in asexual reproduction in fungi?
1. | Conidia | 2. | Sporangiospores |
3. | Zoospores | 4. | Ascospores |
Consider the given statements regarding slime moulds:
Statement I: | Under unfavourable conditions they form a plasmodium. |
Statement II: | During favourable conditions, the plasmodium differentiates and forms fruiting bodies bearing spores at their tips. |
