Hyphae of Oomycotes are?
Correct answer: B. Aseptate
- A. Septate
- B. Aseptate
- C. Semi-septate
- D. All of these
Explanation
The correct answer is that Oomycotes have aseptate hyphae. Unlike true fungi, which often have septate hyphae with cross-walls dividing the hyphae into separate cells, Oomycotes have coenocytic hyphae. This means that their hyphae form a continuous tube-like structure without septa, allowing for the free flow of cytoplasm and multiple nuclei within the same cellular compartment. This structural characteristic is a key differentiator between Oomycotes and true fungi.
