Question

Which among the following statements are incorrect?

(a) Asexual spores are formed due to mitosis

(b) Bracket fungi are an example of ascomycetes

(c) Basidiomycetes produce sexual spores called Basidiospores exogenously in Basidium

(d) Deuteromycetes reproduce asexually by Conidia

This question was addressed to me during an interview.

My query is from Biological Classification in division Biological Classification of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) Bracket fungi are an example of ascomycetes

For explanation I would say: Bracket fungi are an example of Basidiomycetes. Asexual spores are formed due to mitosis. Basidiomycetes produce sexual spores called basidiospores exogenously in Basidium. Sexual spores are absent in Deuteromycetes but reproduce asexually through Conidia.
