Asexual reproduction is uncommon in:
Correct answer: C. Basidiomycetes
- A. Zygomycetes
- B. Ascomycetes
- C. Basidiomycetes
- D. Deuteromycetes
Explanation
Basidiomycetes, which include mushrooms, are primarily known for their sexual reproduction through the development of basidia and basidiospores. Asexual reproduction is not commonly observed in this group, making them the correct answer for this question. In contrast, Zygomycetes reproduce asexually through sporangiospores, Ascomycetes through conidia, and Deuteromycetes are characterized by their asexual reproduction due to the lack of a known sexual stage.
