Characteristic that does not help fungi to live on land:
Correct answer: D. Cytoplasmic flow throughout the hyphae
- A. Lack of flagellated cells
- B. Thick walled zygote
- C. Dispersal of spores by wind
- D. Cytoplasmic flow throughout the hyphae
Explanation
The correct answer is cytoplasmic flow throughout the hyphae. This feature is not directly related to survival on land; it is a general feature of fungi that aids in nutrient distribution within the mycelium. On the other hand, the lack of flagellated cells is beneficial as it reduces dependence on water for reproduction. The thick-walled zygote provides protection against desiccation, and spore dispersal by wind is crucial for colonizing new terrestrial environments.
