A fungus used extensively in biochemical and genetic work is:
| 1. | Neurospora | 2. | Trichoderma |
| 3. | Paecilomyces | 4. | Streptomyces |
A symbiotic relation between fungi and the roots of higher plants is called as:
| 1. | Lichen | 2. | Mycorrhiza |

In the Two Kingdom classification, the Kingdom Plantae was erroneous with some major issues that include:
| I: | Placing bacteria and blue green algae with eukaryotic groups |
| II: | Grouping together the unicellular organisms with multicellular ones |
| III: | Placing heterotrophic fungi with autotrophic plants |
| 1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
| 3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
What is not true regarding sexual reproduction in basidiomycetes?
| 1. | Sex organs are well developed |
| 2. | Plasmogamy is brought about by fusion of two vegetative or somatic cells of different strains or genotypes |
| 3. | Karyogamy and meiosis take place in basidium, producing four basidiospores |
| 4. | Basidiospores are produced exogenously on the basidium |
The cell walls of diatoms are ‘indestructible’ as they are embedded with:
| 1. | Silica | 2. | Chitin |
| 3. | Calcium | 4. | Raphides |
Yeast is unique amongst the members of Kingdom Fungi because it:
1. reproduces by ascospores
2. is unicellular
3. does not have a chitinous cell wall
4. does not have a sexual mode of reproduction

Identify the incorrect statement regarding Euglenoids:
| 1. | Majority are found in fresh stagnant water |
| 2. | Presence of two flagella |
| 3. | Behave as heterotrophs when deprived of sunlight |
| 4. | Pigments entirely different from those found in higher plants |
