All of the following are plant-resembling characters of fungi except:
Correct answer: B. Nuclear mitosis
- A. Have cell wall
- B. Nuclear mitosis
- C. Non motile
- D. Absence of centrioles
Explanation
The correct answer is Nuclear mitosis because this process is a defining feature of fungi that does not resemble the plant reproductive process. Fungi exhibit unique nuclear division mechanisms that differentiate them from plants. Option A, Have cell wall, is incorrect because both fungi and plants have cell walls, making this a shared characteristic. Option C, Non motile, is also incorrect as it describes a similarity between fungi and plants; both groups are generally non-motile. Option D, Absence of centrioles, is incorrect as well, since while fungi do lack centrioles, this trait does not align with plant-like characteristics.
