Mucor belongs to .......... sub-division of Eumycota.
-
Mastigomycotina
-
Ascomycotina
-
Zygomycotina
-
Deuteromycotina
Zygomycotina is composed of organisms that are characterized by the formation of ribbon-like aseptate hyphae and sexual reproduction with the formation of zygospores. The vast majority of human zygomycotic disease is caused by the members of the family Mucoraceae. This family includes zygomycetes that produce asexual sporangiospores in sporangia. Sporangium producers which may or may not produce stolons and rhizoids and included in the genera Mucor and Rhizomucor. Thus, the correct answer is option 'Zygomycotina'.

Mucor and Rhizopus are fungi belonging to the family Mucoraceae. Mucor is called as pin mould. Rhizopus is known as black mould. They are saprophytic fungi that grow on dead and decaying organic material. The fungal mycelium of Mucor and Rhizopus look like fine cottony threads on the surface of the bread. Thus the correct answer is option C.

-
Anisogamy
-
Oogamy
-
All of the above
Reproduction in Mucor takes place by isogametes. Mucor reproduces both in the sexual and asexual methods. While asexual reproduction takes place by the formation of spores, sexual reproduction takes place by conjugation of isogamy.
