  2. Cycas

  3. Selaginella

  4. Volvox

A Correct answer
Explanation

Heterothallic fungi have sexes that reside in different individuals. The term is applied particularly to distinguish heterothallic fungi, which require two compatible partners to produce sexual spores. Mucor is a heterothallic fungi.

So the correct option is A.

Zygospore of Mucor is :

  1. Haploid

  2. Thick-wall resting spore

  3. Asexual spore

  4. Spore that germinates to form zoospores
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The zygospore of Mucor is covered by a thick wall and is a resting spore which means it undergoes a resting period, to avoid unfavorable environmental conditions

So, the correct answer is 'Thick-wall resting spore'

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The essential conditions for the growth of mucor in a piece of bread are having a shaded place with the optimum temperature of $25^o C $ and relative humidity of 95 millibars

So, the correct answer is 'a,d and e only'

In Mucor, zygospore develops from :

  1. Promycelium

  2. Progametangium

  3. Gametangia

  4. Mycelium
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In mucor during sexual reproduction, compatible strains form short, specialized hyphae called gametangia. At the point where two complementary gametangia fuse, a thick-walled, spherical zygosporangium develops. The zygosporangium typically contains a single zygospore.

So the correct option is C.
