(b) Phycomycetes are also called as algal fungi

(c) Zygospores are formed due to isogamous fertilization and zoospores are formed due to anisogamous fertilization

I got this question during an interview.

My doubt is from Biological Classification topic in chapter Biological Classification of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) Zygospores are formed due to isogamous fertilization and zoospores are formed due to anisogamous fertilization

The best explanation: Zygospores are formed either due to isogamous or anisogamous fertilization. Zoospores and aplanospores are motile and non-motile spores produced due to asexual mode respectively. Phycomycetes are aseptate fungi and are coenocytic. Phycomycetes are also called as algal fungi or conjugation fungi.
