In which of the following example of fungi dikaryotic hyphae exist for long period?

Correct answer: B. Basidiomycota

  • A. Deuteromycota
  • B. Basidiomycota
  • C. Zygomycota
  • D. All of these

Explanation

Basidiomycota commonly maintain dikaryotic hyphae, in which each cell contains two genetically different haploid nuclei, for a prolonged part of the life cycle. Deuteromycota is often selected because it includes many familiar molds, but its fungi do not characteristically maintain a long dikaryotic phase.
