Imperfect fungi is now-a-days classified on the basis of:
Correct answer: B. DNA sequence
- A. Asexual spores
- B. DNA sequence
- C. Sexual spores
- D. All these
Explanation
The correct answer is DNA sequence. In modern taxonomy, DNA sequencing is used to classify imperfect fungi as it provides detailed genetic information that is more accurate than morphological features like spore types. Asexual spores were used in the past but are not as reliable. Since imperfect fungi lack a sexual cycle, sexual spores are irrelevant for their classification. 'All these' is incorrect because DNA sequencing is the preferred method over others.
